A sick Scots building firm boss warned two teenage girls they would be "stabbed" if they told cops about his requests for nude photos.
Nigel Richard Evans, from Aberdeen, was in Conwy County in Wales for work in 2021 when he met two girls aged 16 and 15. The twisted brute asked the older girl for a video of her that would help with his "sexual rage", with promises he'd send one in return.
The 16-year-old sent two explicit videos to Evans via Facebook, James Coutts, prosecuting, told Mold Crown Court yesterday, reports North Wales Live. Evans, who is a dad, contacted the younger girl and offered £300 for "nude images" but she rejected his request.
The girls contacted police after confronting Evans, before he threatened to upload videos of the older girl to Facebook. He also threatened to harm the girls' families if they reported him, Mr Coutts said.
Evans sent a series of messages, with one saying they should "be careful" or they'd "get battered or stabbed". Another, that came after the mention of police involvement, said that Evans wanted to "f**k some people up" and the girls would need "everyone they knew" to "pin him down".
He told the girls it was "hunting season" and he "wouldn't rest until someone was bleeding", the court heard. The young dad also repeatedly branded the girls "s****", before he was arrested.
He initially denied everything when questioned by the police, said Mr Coutts. Instead, he tried to pass the blame onto a teenage boy, insisting he must have been able to pose as him online with an old unlocked phone.
He later admitted making indecent images of a child, the 16-year-old, as well as attempting to incite the girl, 15, to engage in sexual activity and two charges of threatening communications.
The court heard the 15-year-old girl has since "become wary" of new people - particularly older men - and "genuinely worried" about what Evans was capable of. Meanwhile, the older girl said the thought of the clips being made publicly available on social media made her feel "sick and terrified".
Simon Mintz, defending, said his client is a "foolish young man" with a "crude and outdated attitude towards women" who now faces a "substantial prison sentence".
He added that, thankfully, Evans' "empty threats" were never carried out. Judge Rhys Rowlands said: "At the time you were outwardly respectable, a man running his own business, but that didn't stop you from wholly inappropriate and depraved communications.
"It all culminated in deeply unsettling threats to both victims - and effectively their families." Evans was jailed for three years and three months and handed a lifelong sexual harm prevention order.
