AN ALLOA man caught standing on a wall peeping into a young girl's window is facing a jail sentence next month.

Kevin Bowes-Lyons, 33, was seen by the 13-year-old girl's parents on top of the five-foot wall at 11pm on August 11 last year.

The details of the incident were noted at a hearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

Prosecutor Graham McLachlan told how the girl's parents chase Bowes-Lyons after spotting him on the wall.

Mr McLachlan said: "They thought he must be doing this so he could get a view of her window."

The depute fiscal added that Bowes-Lyons had a mobile phone in his hand, pointed towards the girl's window.

He added: "The witnesses opened the window and shouted at him, and he jumped off the wall and cycled away. They gave chase, but he had made off."

The court heard that the incident had been preceded by a similar one just a few months earlier.

He said on this occasion, the precise date of which no-one could remember, Bowes-Lyons had cycled past the girl's house, slowed down, stared at her window, and cycled off again before anyone could get to the door.

Bowes-Lyons, of Mar Street, pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching the peace by staring into a window of the house in Turret Court, Alloa.

Mike Lowrie, defending, said: "Mr Bowes-Lyons was never interviewed by the police about this, so his intentions are not evident."

Sentence was deferred for reports and the accused is expected to reappear in court next month.
