A conman who posed as a member of a notorious Scots crime family to extort cash from a teenager was jailed today for 22 months.

Steven Adams, 34, targeted the 19-year-old student and his family at his address in Glasgow in September 2018. The victim sent Adams sexualised pictures on social media which he later kept and used as bargaining power.

Adams, of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, pretended to be Steven Lyons with an uncle Eddie Lyons in order to demand money.Adams then contacted the victim's sisters - and one of their online business pages - ordering the teen to get in touch.

The terrified teen sent £250 to the scammer and ignored threats for a further £1,000.Adams pled guilty to two charges of extortion at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
