A Musselburgh Paedophile, Graham Brown, has had his name added to the sex offenders’ register after he was caught with child abuse images.
Graham Brown, 61, was found to have downloaded 14 vile videos of children engaged in sexual activity with adults and other children.
Graham Brown was said to have possessed the material over a 10-month period before he was caught.
Fiscal depute Callum Thomson told Edinburgh Sheriff Court police officers received intelligence that indecent images of children were being downloaded at Graham Brown’s home on the towns Old Course Gate.
Officers executed a search warrant for the address at about 6.40pm on August 30 last year.
The court was told during Fridays hearing that Graham Brown was at home alone and during the search a laptop was discovered on his couch that contained the videos.
A full analysis by cyber crime officers showed Graham Brown had downloaded 11 category A movies – the worst end of the scale – and three rated as category B.
All the images were in an accessible state and the analysis showed Graham Brown had last viewed the videos on January 6 last year.
Sheriff Chris Dickson placed Graham Brown on the sex offenders’ register and deferred sentence to next month for background reports to be prepared.
Graham Brown pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children between October 22, 2020 and August 30 last year.
