Pervert postman banned from every park and school in Scotland
A ROYAL Mail worker has been banned from every park and school in Scotland for making sick comments to two girls.
Adrian Mannion has also been ordered to stay off the internet and is forbidden from having contact with anyone under the age of 18.
The rare restrictions were imposed after Mannion, 27, admitted the “lewd and inappropriate” outburst in front of the youngsters, aged 10 and 11.
Sheriff David Bicket was told there was a high risk of Mannion reoffending.
Mannion works for the Royal Mail at Wishaw sorting office but has been off sick since June.
He had to move out of his Motherwell flat after he was confronted by angry neighbours.
The charity Children 1st yesterday welcomed the sentence.
They said: “A man who is known to have made indecent comments to young girls is clearly someone who should not be coming into contact with them – either in the real or the virtual world.”
Mannion was put him on the sex offenders register for three years and given three years probation at Hamilton Sheriff Court.
Mannion’s lawyer Mark Lunny said: “He has been assessed fully and has been honest about his behaviour.
Probation will allow monitoring of him and provide protection for the public.”
