A paedophile from Glasgow who filmed himself abusing a 3-year old boy has been jailed.

28-year old Chris Hume was babysitting the toddler last October when the attack took place.

When the parents returned home Hume was sitting on the couch and the boy was in his bedroom.

The child then entered the living room and accused Hume of assaulting him.

At this point Hume became irate and started to wave his arms around and swearing at the child.

He then ran away leaving behind his two mobile phones and his jacket.

The family contacted the police.

Police Scotland's Cybercrime Unit managed to extract footage from the accused’s telephone and a video clip of the incident was recovered.

Hume will be sentenced next month at the High Court in Edinburgh by judge Lady Scott.
