A Fife teacher accused of arranging to meet a teenage girl for sex has told a panel that he was trying to protect a potential child victim.
Religious education teacher Iain Parkinson, 56, turned up at the Travelodge in Falkirk expecting to meet a couple he had been chatting to on the Fabswingers website only to be handcuffed by undercover police.
Officers who searched Mr Parkinson found condoms and tubes of lubricant in his vehicle.
It followed what Mr Parkinson described as a “horrific” online exchange with an undercover officer which referred to sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl.
