Vile beast branded "predator of the most dangerous and deviant sort"
Twisted David Cardona was yesterday described as 'a predator of the most dangerous and devious sort'. A Paisley beast has been jailed for five years after being found guilty of 'orchestrated and persistent' child sex abuse spanning over two decades. Twisted David Cardona was last month found guilty by a jury, following a trial at Paisley Sheriff Court, of the abuse of three youngsters. The jury found the 65-year-old unanimously guilty of using 'lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour' towards a boy aged under 13 between October 21, 1994 and October 23, 1994. Creepy Cardona got into the boy's bed while he was sleeping, laid next to him, attempted to pull his trousers down and, thereafter, performed a sex act on him. Cardona, of Westburn Avenue in the town, was also found guilty of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 16 on 'various occasions' between July 11, 2013 and August 20, 2018 by touching her private parts through her clothing. The court heard evidence Cardona would carry out these sexual assaults when the girl was sleeping or falling asleep. A witness told the jury: 'It was at night, he would lift her but place his hands at her pants.' The witness told the court how this had impacted the girl and added: 'When she told me, she was in pieces, she was crying; crying as if she was having a panic attack. 'After it happened, she distanced herself from him. 'It changed her, she stayed in her room after it happened, her hair would fall out, she started cutting her wrists.' Cardona was also found guilty of sexually assaulting another girl while she was under the age of 13. Between August 2019 and August 2021, the paedophile on 'various occasions' assaulted this youngster by placing his hand inside her trousers and sexually assaulting her. Yesterday, Sheriff Gillian Craig slammed Cardona stating: 'You are a predator of the most dangerous and devious sort. 'These offences are in a league of very serious crime. 'Your victims have already lived with the trauma and may live with the trauma for the rest of their lives. 'I've read the victim impact statements and what is clear is the impact is devastating, you robbed these children of their childhood.' Defence agent, Paul Keenan KC told the court there was 'little he could say in mitigation'. He added: 'Mr Cardona maintains he is innocent, he understands the jury's verdict and rejects that position. 'He is under no illusion of the severity and fully accepts the offences he's convicted of are exceptionally serious and there will ne no choice but to impose a custodial sentence.' Sentencing, Sheriff Craig added: 'I commend all of the victims for their bravery in coming to police. 'The ripples of what you've done will be felt through their families and loved ones. 'A custodial sentence is the only appropriate disposal.' Cardona was jailed for five years and, upon his release, he will be subject to licence for three years with conditions fixed by Scottish ministers. In addition, he was made subject to a non-harassment order for each of the three victims for 20 years and made subject to a sexual harm prevention order also for twenty years.

Edinburgh Fringe performer claims youths branded him a 'lady boy' during attack
Eddie Jen claims the male youths "beat him on the head", ripped off his bow and poured their drinks on him. An Edinburgh Fringe performer has claimed he was called a 'lady boy' by youths who allegedly attacked him on the Royal Mile. Eddie Jen, who uses he/she pronouns, is performing his show 'Seeking a PenPal For the End of the World' to the festival this year. Before it starts he was out handing out flyers but says he was accosted by a gang of thugs on Tuesday, July 29, reports Edinburgh Live. Eddie claims the male youths "beat him on the head", ripped off his bow and poured their drinks on him. Speaking out since the incident, Eddie said "it all happened so quickly". He added: "I was just so excited and happy to be in Edinburgh and to start with, I got great reactions. The youngsters aren't even a minority and they aren't speaking for everyone. "It all happened so quickly, they just came up to me and started saying 'are you a lady boy?' and 'are you a boy or a girl?' "I remained polite but as I went back to my corner to continue flyering, they hit my head, ripped off my bow and poured their drinks over me. It all happened within two minutes. "I was honestly in shock but I am so glad I was able to film it all and get people talking about this." The performer from San Francisco said she isn't letting the incident dampen her time in Edinburgh. Eddie has met a lot of kind people in the capital - including one man who assisted after the incident. She added: "There was one kind Scottish gentleman who came up to me to see if I was okay. "I really am an optimist and I am able to get the full Fringe experience right now. I mean so far, I have been harassed and done shows with no attendance so it seems I am getting everything bad out the way in the first week. "Last year I came to the Fringe to see if I was up to par and I absolutely loved it - the city is magical, there really is something about it. "I went out flyering again yesterday, I put on the same outfit and I kept going. I am just so excited to be here." Getting over 200,000 views, the clip has since gone viral and many people have offered their support to the performer. The video was captioned: "I was attacked in drag at Edinburgh Fringe 2025. It's my first solo show. "I was so excited to flyer and find an audience and then a group of young men began harassing me. They beat me on the head, ripped off my bow and poured their drinks on me." Almost 1000 comments have come in after the short clip was posted online. One person said: "Why is it always teenagers? Where are their parents? "I'm terrified of teenage boys in Edinburgh, they're just looking for trouble." A second said: "That's so bad a member of the public has to explain this is not how Scotland is and excusing their bad behaviour." "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I live in Edinburgh and unfortunately this type of stuff happens a lot. It's horrible but not all teenagers are like that", a third commented. Eddie's show started yesterday and will run at Just The Tonic at the Caves at 1.05pm until August 24. A description of the show reads: "After Trump 1.0's mob breached the US capitol to destroy democracy on January 6th, 2021, an immigrant drag queen attorney from San Francisco began writing to a retired, White, Republican woman in Bountiful, Utah – his high school English teacher from thirty years ago. "What happens when the political discussions stop and the personal begins? Can you really be friends with your former teacher? An interactive performance, with reading and writing prompts. We tell the story of our lives. For everyone who remembers their English teachers most fondly. You can find out more about Eddie's show here.
