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.
