In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Kamran Saeed, then 44, of Lochore, Fife, was remanded in custody at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court. On Monday, 26 January 2026, Saeed pleaded guilty to breaching the terms of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) after he was caught using a concealed iPhone to livestream a phoney medical persona online.
The investigation established that Saeed, a twice-convicted paedophile shopkeeper, was exposed by his ex-wife. Despite being subject to a strict court order since June 2021, Saeed used a streaming app called Bigo Live to broadcast himself while pretending to be a doctor. When police searched his old home in Lochore, Fife, they discovered an iPhone X with an active SIM card hidden under his bed.
History of Deceit and “Phoney” Personas
Police Scotland discovered that Saeed had downloaded multiple social media apps, including Snapchat, WhatsApp, TikTok, and X, all of which were prohibited under his SOPO without police knowledge. This followed a previous conviction in 2022, where Saeed was jailed for communicating with a 14-year-old girl on Snapchat. A sheriff previously described him as “manipulative and deceitful” for his persistent attempts to bypass digital monitoring.
The court heard that Saeed admitted to concealing the device and accessing the internet covertly between September 2024 and February 2025. While his solicitor claimed he led an “isolated existence” following his separation in 2016, the prosecution emphasised that he was caught red-handed using a burner phone to engage in deceptive online broadcasts.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his persistent breaches in Lochore, Fife, Kamran Saeed faces the following legal consequences:
- Remand: Remanded in immediate custody pending sentencing next month.
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements remain in place for life.
- SOPO: The existing Sexual Offences Prevention Order remains in place with stringent conditions.
- Deportation Status: Saeed is currently fighting a deportation order to Pakistan, with an appeal hearing expected shortly.
Monitoring and Public Protection
Saeed is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Police Scotland. His history of sexual assault, assaulting a child, and multiple SOPO breaches means his status remains under critical scrutiny.
As a lifetime member of the Sex Offenders Register, Saeed must comply with strict notification requirements regarding any address in Fife. Sheriff James Williamson noted that Saeed is “no stranger” to this type of offending and refused bail due to the serious nature of the concealment. Any further attempts to bypass monitoring or a breach of his registration conditions will result in his immediate return to Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.
