Sending picture of Paris Hilton puts man in jail

Sending an indecent picture of hotel heiress Paris Hilton to a boy of 13 on his mobile phone landed a man in court yesterday.

The image Richard Marshall forwarded came from a video which appeared on the internet two years ago, featuring Hilton romping with her boyfriend.

Selkirk Sheriff Court heard the offence came to light when the boy’s family complained to police.

Sentence on Marshall, 34, of Newtongrange, Midlothian, was deferred for nine months. He was told his name would be on the Sex Offenders Register until then.
