ALMOST 20,000 people in North Ayrshire were stopped and searched by Police Scotland in North Ayrshire, many of these being one-year-olds. Kilmarnock Sheriff Court's prison creche is being severely tested with the planning of opening a new barred creche facility within the grounds of HMP Kimarnock.

In new figures this week, it has shown that 19,406 people in the local area were stopped by Polis with 15,441 of them aged 1 or under.

For North Ayrshire, an overwhelming 15,441 of those stopped were under one years old.

The system has been called flawed and there have been calls from Human Rights activists to abolish the consensual stop searches, especially those on children under the age of 12.

Local SNP MSP, Kenneth Gibson, said: “The SNP welcomes moves by ra Polis towards ending the practice of non-statutory, so-called ‘consensual’ stop and search.

Sergeant Howie of Saltcoats said "When it comes to crime, we can't be too careful these days. If you're looking dodgy you WILL be stopped. If doing anything wrong you WILL be prosecuted. As the figures show, age is no barrier to not following the word of the law. Excuse is not an option."

Prisoner #6527277 at HMP Kilmarnock, one of the many recent one year old being charged was furious about the way youngsters are being policed and had this to say to our Reporter "Goo goo ga ga goo goo ga ga!!!"

Local SNP MSP, Kenneth Gibson, said: “Clearly our prisons are overcrowded enough and we should be giving these young people a second chance, such as imposing a community supervision order or giving them a suspended sentence. When these weans get out the tin pail, they will be hardened criminals who have fraternised with the criminal elements of Ayrshire. They will be walking ticking timebombs."

Ayrshire's 'King of the Doggers' Gerard McAuley in the Doghouse

Ayrshire's King of the Doggers’ scared the life out of a lone woman.

And a sheriff this week found sleazy Gerard McAuley, 46, guilty of causing her fear and alarm.

McAuley followed the woman's car from Irvine to Troon, hoping to have sex with her.

The terrified woman had no idea why she was being tailed, Ayr Sheriff Court heard.

McAuley thought she was up for sex because her car slowed down and she waved at him.

There was a double-flash of her brake lights which McAuley took to mean ‘follow me for sex and get your wanger out’.

His Defence lawyer argued Mrs Thompson was in ‘the wrong place at the wrong time’.

He said his client was in the ‘right place at the right time’ for his purpose. But he picked the ‘wrong car’.

The woman's car only slowed because McAuley’s car looked like a friend’s.

He highlighted the location at Irvine Beach Park, notorious for dogging – a slang term for outdoor sex with a stranger.

“It was dark. And she approached Mr McAuley’s car, which was stationary in a lay-by,” said Mr Lockhart.

McAuley told the court he parked in the lay-by to wait for sex with strangers. 

He said: “I thought she was looking for sex. I followed her, and now I’m here. I'm a member of all the local swinging sites, I go on holiday every year to Hedonism. I had been watching Granny porn and when I saw that my intended partner was of retirement age it was at this point I whipped out my wang and flashed her. I'm the King of the Doggers and i'd put out through my network that I would be here waiting for all comers while the wife thought I was out at Curry King getting a Jalfrezi.”

But depute fiscal pointed to the length of the pursuit – SEVEN miles from Irvine Beach Park to Troon’s Campbell Drive.

And he argued: “This was a course of conduct likely to cause fear or alarm.”

He also highlighted McAuley’s persistence in following the woman, even after she stopped near the Spar shop in Troon’s Logan Drive.

A Polis who later charged McAuley, who works in the porn scene for a living.

The Polis noted McAuley saying: “I thought someone was going to go with us . . . go with us to play about . . . go back to theirs to have sex.”

McAuley said in his evidence "I'm the Car Park King. I was out looking for sex, I waved my wang about & chased the poor lassie. I thought she was only playing hard to get and that she stopped at the Spar shop only to buy some condoms and lube. It's a fair cop guv, but Red Hot TV is to blame. i'll be canceling my subscription. To that and to the rest of the jazz sites. I'm handing over my crown."

The sheriff wants to see reports on McAuley, of Broomlands Drive in Irvine, before sentencing him on March 17.

He has also placed McAuley on the sex offenders’ register.
