Ordering Horribine to carry out 80 hours of community service Sheriff Richard Clark said: “You appear as a first offender in the court.
“But nevertheless you appear on a charge where you have breached a position of trust which the court treats very seriously.
“Having regards to the terms of your report I am satisfied it is a case where custody could have been imposed.
“However, I am willing to deal with it by means of community service. This has been imposed as a direct alternative to imprisonment.”
