Snapchat predator coerced boys to perform sex acts in exchange for Xbox and PlayStation codes
Ross Brogan, 31, exploited four boys under 16 via Snapchat, coercing them for Xbox and PlayStation codes; he received a 10.5-year sentence plus a 3-year extension.
- Today at the High Court in Glasgow, the court sentenced Brogan to 10 years and six months in prison, with a three-year licence extension, on February 3, 2026.
- Returning to the High Court in Glasgow on February 3, 2026, Ross Brogan befriended four teenage victims via Snapchat and coerced them with Xbox or PlayStation codes.
- Judge Bruce Erroch KC said Brogan left sex toys at a pre-arranged drop-off point, bombarded victims with obscene videos, made threats to a boy's family, and adopted an assumed social-media identity culminating in oral rape.
- COPFS said tackling this offending against children is a priority, with Detective Inspector Steven Palmer stating `Brogan is a depraved sexual offender who gave no thought to his victims, just using them for his sexual gratification` and his name was added to the sex offenders register indefinitely.
- After pleading guilty on January 5, 2026, Brogan was later sentenced; the judge noted the significant harm caused during offences between 2021 and 2024.
