A TEENAGE girl has told a court she felt "violated" after she was allegedly sent sexualised messages by a policeman from Renfrewshire.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard she was 16 when the messages were sent on social media app Snapchat by 42-year-old Iain Bagley, who is an officer with British Transport Police.

Bagley, of Renfrew, denies sending sexual communication without consent and placing the girl in alarm or distress.

The court was shown an alleged chat log between the pair.

A picture of Bagley in uniform was allegedly sent during the early exchanges.

It is claimed that he stated in a message: “My back is f***ed, I need a massage,” followed by two emojis of an 'okay' sign.

Prosecutor Chris Farrell asked the girl what she thought he meant by that.

She replied: “That I should be the one that’s giving him the massage. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing that.”

The log showed Bagley allegedly asking the girl for “more exciting” pictures and quizzing her about boyfriends.

The girl appeared to speak about eating pizza, to which Bagley replied: “A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."

When Mr Farrell asked the girl if she felt comfortable about Bagley referring to her hips, she replied: “No.”

Another message read: “You need your beauty sleep,” followed by a love heart and kiss emoji.

The girl claimed the conversation became “more sexual” and said she was "innocent" at the time.

According to the Snapchat log, the pair later discussed the girl’s drama class and how she didn’t know what costume she would be wearing.

A message allegedly sent by Bagley stated: “You will just have to make it up for me.”

Mr Farrell asked the girl what Bagley’s motive was behind the message.

She replied: “To dress up for him and not for anyone else. I felt violated.”

Mr Farrell asked why the girl didn’t end the conversation.

She said: “I felt I couldn’t."

The girl added that she would ask Bagley when and where he was working in order to avoid meeting him at train stations.

The trial, before Sheriff Stuart Reid, continues.
