Siblings who had sex in lift spared jail

A brother and sister from Scotland who admitted having sex in a railway station lift escaped jail on Friday - although the court ruled that the young man should be put on the national register of sex offenders.

Former soldier Richard Finlayson, 21, and his younger sister Kirsty, 18, were caught in the act twice by security cameras at Motherwell station, outside Glasgow, on June 27 last year, reports AFP

They had previously both pleaded guilty to committing incest and during sentencing at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday, the brother received a two-year probation order while the sister received a one-year probation order.

Richard Finlayson was also put on the sex offenders register because his sister was only 17 - a minor - at the time.
