Thomson was placed on the sex offenders’ register in 2011 after sending a young girl an explicit picture.

Under his terms, the 24 year-old, from Bonnyrigg, was supposed to inform police if he was leaving the country – but failed to do so when he headed to Alicante with friends last May.

Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard yesterday that child abuse organisation Stop It Now! had provided a “positive” report on Thomson, and he was admonished.
