In the latest twist to the story of Inverness street peddler and convicted rapist, Kim Avis (aka Vince Avis, Kem Avis, Ken Gordon-Avis, Kim Gordon and Cameron MacGregor) has had his 14 year sentence increased.
Dubbed by some as The Real Loch Ness Monster, 60 year old Avis was convicted in 2021 for sexually assaulting women and children while living in Inverness between 2006 and 2017.
Prison guards at HMP Edinburgh were using mobile phone detector equipment and discovered that Avis was hiding one in a bucket in his jail cell.
Avis was brought back to court from prison and was further convicted of illegally possing and using a phone while in detention.
Sheriff Joseph Stewart sentenced the rapist to a two month custodial sentence that will run consecutively to his current sentence.

For several decades, Professor Kettle of the Loch Ness Research Institute has been probing the bottom of Loch Ness for new secrets about life on earth. Now, in an astonishing twist, his team of academics has discovered that the Earth’s inner core, long thought to be a solid sphere, is behaving in ways that defy conventional understanding.
A ground breaking and world leading series of experiments, using cutting-edge technology and advanced AI simulations are being used to generate huge seismic waves that travel through Scotland.
“Because we use novel quantum polarised HAARP style equipment to generate earthquake tremors at Loch Ness, we obviously know the Point Zero, so to speak. This lets us make a very detailed analysis of what’s under the loch, all the way down to the Earth’s core”, explained Prof. Kettle.
The team’s new data reveals that the Earth’s inner core is not as rigid and unchanging as previously believed. Instead, it seemed to exhibit dynamic behavior, with shifts and changes occurring over time.
“It is constantly evolving, influenced by complex interactions with the surrounding layers of the Earth”, Kettle added.
The implications of their findings is profound and as the team’s new scientific papers are shared with the scientific community, a wave of excitement is spreading – sparking calls for further research.
“I want to be quite clear”, Dr. Pott (Loch Ness Research and project coordinator) said. “We are not looking at a Journey To The Earth’s Core scenario. But this is actually even more interesting because the magnetic fields being generated are shifting the North & South Pole far faster than we thought. Things like GPS and even satellites will have to be refitted to take account of the new reality, if our modern way of life is to continue.”
Professor Plume’s world leading research has uncovered unique lifeforms at the bottom of Loch Ness that generate oxygen. These microorganisms at depths over 200 meters could revolutionize our understanding of deep-water ecosystems and their role in oxygen production.
Dark Oxygen Producers Under Loch Ness
Plume’s study explores the biodiversity of Loch Ness, focusing on the profundal zone. This has been relatively unexplored due to its depth and challenging conditions.
Using advanced holographic imaging technology, Professor Plume and his team collected samples from various depths. The samples were analyzed for microbial activity and oxygen production.
The research identified several species of microorganisms capable of photosynthesis at these depths and generated significant amounts of oxygen. These findings suggest that deep-water ecosystems may play a more crucial role in global oxygen production than previously thought.
The discovery challenges existing theories about oxygen production (so called “dark oygen”) in freshwater systems and highlights the importance of protecting these unique ecosystems. Further research is needed to understand the full impact of these lifeforms on the environment.
World Leading Loch Ness Research
Speaking exclusively to the Loch Ness Free Press, Professor Plume said, “Loch Ness is clearly a place of gaesous production of Dark Oxygen through a process similar to methane generation and the hydrothermal vents my leading team discovered in our Loch Ness research project and probe of the water body’s bottom in early 2024.”
Professor Plume’s research opens new avenues for studying deep-water ecosystems in Loch Ness and other deep water lakes and their contributions to Earth’s oxygen cycle. This discovery highlights the need for continued exploration and conservation of deep freshwater habitats.
Plume added, “If there is a large amount of Dark Oxygen being produced here, it could help explain how unknown creatures such as Nessie, the famous Loch Ness Monster, could survive for long periods without surfacing.
“There are plenty of food sources the murky depths and oxygen completes the circle of what is needed to support life”.
A missing tourist, a US-wide manhunt and the story of how a local celebrity became a fugitive after his dark past begins to catch up with him. Now the BBC has a new Podcast about the convicted rapist from Inverness.
BBC Scotland’s “Disclosure” tells the ‘untold story’ of Kim Avis, the Inverness busker and street peddler who attempted to fake his own death in California, USA in a failed attempt to avoid prosecution for rape and other sexual offences back home in Inverness, Scotland.
Avis fled to the USA and was finally captured by US Marshalls and extradited back to Scotland, where he went on trial at Glasgow High Court. He was found guilty of 14 serious sexual charges on two girls and two women between 2006 and 2017, mainly in Inverness – including at his property called Wolves Den.
Kim Avis was jailed on June 11 2021 and sitting judge Lord Sandison described him as “a controlling and dominant personality”.
High Street, Inverness Scotland
Kim Avis was a well-known street peddler and busker in Inverness. He was known by at least three names – Kim Gordon, Kim Vincent and Kem Avis-Vincent – and was thought to have located to the Highlands capital “On horseback” in the 1980s.
Initially Avis was reported missing on February 25, 2019. His son (aged 17 at the time) alerted the police after he failed to return from a swim, at Monastery Beach (known as ‘Mortuary Beach’) in California.
More than 30 people hare known to have died at that beach, so Avis was originally treated as a missing person. Local police soon discovered that Avis had failed to appear in court in Scotland to face multiple rape and sexual assault charges.
US Marshalls began a manhunt for the Inverness street peddler, Avis and he was arrested five months later over 1,000 miles away in Colorado Springs, USA. He was then extradited back to Scotland to face trial, conviction and a long prison sentence. As of today, he remains in prison.

The world has held its breath as the USA and other Super Powers edge towards conflict over spy balloons and octagonal shaped UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) that were seen over nuclear missile silos and Canada.
In a shock new development locals have reported seeing RAF Vulcan Bomber apparently engage and destroy a possibly red coloured balloon over Loch Ness.
A member of the local silent majority, who did not want to be named told us, “I was sleeping in my favourite chair with Channel 4’s Countdown blaring away on the TV. Suddenly my house shook as a super sonic jet screamed through the sky heading towards the loch. I got my binoculars out and saw a balloon deflated, plummeting towards the water”.
Professor Kettle was also out on his Loch Ness Research Project boat taking hydrophone recordings at the beginning of Nessie’s mating season. He expressed concern that the noise would unsettle the famous monster.
“I really want to protest about jets taking down balloons over Loch Ness. We know there is a problem with tourists launching lanterns over the loch but I am assured by the Highlands of Scotland Tourist Board that they have it under control. We don’t need military action in this scientifically sensitive site.”
The balloon is one of many UFOs seen at Loch Ness every year as it is believed to be part of an energy line including the Bermuda Triangle.
Professor Kettle also pointed out that there are suggestions in the American media that the US air force may have spent $1 million shooting down a toy balloon. “The Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade reports that one of its $12 balloons vanished 11th February. This was about the same time President Biden ordered a jet fighter to shoot down a mystery object over Canada’s Yukon Territory”. (You can read more about this in The New York Post).
The Highlands of Scotland Tourist Board was unavailable for comment at time of going to press.
The United States Sheriff who headed up the initial search and subsequent manhunt for fugitive Kim Vincent aka Kim Gordon aka Kim Avis (and as Kem instead of Kim) said justice has finally been served. A jury in Glasgow High Court found the former Inverness street peddler and Loch Ness charity swimmer guilty of 14 counts of rape against women and young girls. He’ll be sentenced on 11th June.
Convicted Multiple Rapist
After he went on the run by faking his own death at a beach in Monterey, USA, sex fiend Vincent was hunted down and captured by US Marshalls. He was extradited back to Scotland for trial. His crimes stand out as some of the most numerous and foul committed in Inverness, Scotlland.
Incredibly, when the caged beast first applied for a street traders licence to peddle nic-nacs on the local High Street, a meeting to grant his trader’s licence in 2008 was held at Highland Council. Inverness councillors described Avis, born in Newmarket, Suffolk, as a “city institution”. One added there was “no finer ambassador for the city”.
Kim Gordon aka Kim Avis – Convicted Multiple Rapist
The jury in Glasgow High Court has found former Inverness Street Peddler, Kim Vincent (aka Avis aka Gordon) also known as Kem, guilty of 14 rapes and sexual assaults against women and also girls aged 11 and 12. He was also found guilty of absconding from justice when he fled from Scotland to the USA in an attempt to fake his own death. US Marshalls hunted him down and extradited him back to face justice in Scotland.
VICTIMS of death faker sex monster speak of their relief after he was finally caged: “Justice has been done.”
Monterey County (where rapist faked his own death) has a TV piece.
Now he is appearing before the High Court in Glasgow and a jury is considering the evidence.
On trial for rapes
Kim Avis or Kem Vincent (he appears to have many aliases) is a former street busker and peddler who frequented the Inverness High Street. He is alleged to have raped several women and an attempted rape of a 12 year old girl. He is additionally charged with sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl. He initially fled Scotland as a fugitive to the USA where the US Marshalls hunted him down and returned him to jail (on remand) in Glasgow.
Early evidence from one woman at the trial included her description of how he is alleged to have forced her to watch in a mirror as he raped her. The trial continues.
