A 66-year-old sex offender, who fled the country to Greece to avoid facing justice, has finally been jailed.
Terence Webster’s crimes included sexually assaulting a young girl in Oakley and a similar offence committed in Spain.
Webster was tracked down in Greece and brought back to Scotland for a trial at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He was found guilty of three charges after the trial in August and has now been sentenced.
On an occasion between July 21 and August 4 2014, at an address in Alicante, Spain, he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl.
On March 23 or 24, 2019 at an address in Oakley, he sexually assaulted a girl then aged 11.
On various occasions between January 1, 2016 and September 30, 2018 at addresses in Falkland, Oakley and elsewhere, he assaulted a boy, then aged 11 upwards, by poking him on the forehead, seizing him by the neck and clothing and slapped him on the face.
Defence solicitor Amy Allan said her client had gone to Greece because of “difficulties in the local community” over the court case.
He was apprehended in Greece in October last year.
Sheriff Susan Duff jailed Webster for three years and placed him on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
