Connor Wilson (20) of Kirkland Avenue, Ballingry, appeared in the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

Depute fiscal Alistair McDermid said the incident took place upstairs on a public service bus.

CCTV on the bus had captured the incident.

The depute said of Wilson: “The girl was wearing a school uniform and so he was clearly aware of her age at that time.

“CCTV shows him touching her over her clothing and kissing her on several occasions.”

Defence solicitor Amy Allan said her client thought the girl was older than she was, as they had been introduced by someone who was 17.
