13,000 Indecent Images Of Children Worth 2 Years And 7 Months?
Derek Walker, 52, was caught with more than 13,000 indecent images of children on his computer at home in Glasgow.
The sicko admitted downloading and distributing the images (sharing them with other sicko’s) between December 2005 and February 2009. He also pretended to be a teenager and used social networking sites to lure in young girls.
Walker was sentenced to 2 years and 7 months in jail, put on the sex offenders register for 10 years (not life) and ordered to be supervised when he is released from prison.
Junkie Held Needle To 6 Year Old For £76!
A drug addict was jailed for 5 years and 3 months after he held a syringe to a 6 year old boy whilst performing a household robbery.
Michael Stevenson attacked the boy and his mother in Maryhill, Glasgow in January.
The 34 year old junkie escaped with £76 and later pled guilty to assault and robbery.
Judge Lady Dorrian said the attack had been “very unpleasant.”
Unpleasant? Really?
I would have thought that the little boy was absolutely terrified!
Starved Dog Found In Edinburgh!
An emaciated Rottweiler has been found in the Trinity Road area of Edinburgh.
The dog was so thin that it later had to be put to sleep.
Found at around 11am on Friday, the police took the dog to a nearby vet after finding it in “a highly emaciated state” and needing urgent medical attention.
But the poor dog was so ill that it could not be saved and was put down.
The police in Lothians and Borders are treating this act of cruelty very seriously and are looking to find the owner.
The dog is around 9 years old and had a black leather collar on with gold studs near the buckle.
He also had a green lead attached to the collar with the words “Harrods” written in orange which is quite distinctive.
Lothians and Borders police said, “This is an extremely serious incident given the suffering the animal had to endure before being found.
“We are appealing to anyone who may recognise the description of the dog and has information that can help us locate the owner to contact police immediately.”
We also urge anyone who has any information to contact the police. This sort of animal abuse cannot continue!
