A 62-year-old Aberdeenshire man’s been jailed for six months after pleading guilty to online sexual offences.
Officers raided Malcolm Craig’s home in Kemnay last October and seized a number of devices from the house.
Detective Inspector Anna Johnston said: “Online offenders often think they are anonymous, but they are not. We are committed to the protection of children and to bringing all perpetrators of sexual abuse to justice. Malcolm Craig has been held to account for his actions.
“Online sexual abuse is not just a computer screen and images, the victims are real and the impact this has on them is devastating, debilitating and can last a lifetime.
“There is no excuse for this behaviour, and I would urge anyone with concerns about child protection or sexual crime to report it to us immediately. People can be assured that we will use all available resources to target those involved.”
