An 82-year-old man has been sentenced to time in prison for historic sexual abuse offences.
David Brown targeted children and young adults at various addresses in Fife between 1998 and 2006.
He was given six and a half years in at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Brown is already serving a sentence for serious sexual and violent offences against children.
Detective Constable Emma Moyes said: “David Brown will remain in prison for the predatory crimes he has committed.
“I hope that this outcome will offer his victims some level of closure as they move on with their lives.
"We thank the victims in this case for coming forward and their determination throughout the investigation.’’
“Police Scotland are committed to investigating any form of violent or sexual abuse, regardless of when these crimes were committed and the passage of time.
“In collaboration with partner agencies, we are here to support victims throughout the process of reporting offences, to bring the perpetrators of horrendous crimes to justice.’’
