- BY CONNOR GORDON

APERVERT who chatted online to a 14 year-old girl and told her he wanted to make her a “real woman” has avoided jail. Aleem Azam, 49, thought he was in contact with a teenage girl, but in fact he was caught by a police decoy.

Azam, who is in a wheelchair, claimed he wanted to have sex with her.

He then boasted that “everything still worked” in his body.

He was eventually caught with 18 indecent images of children.

Azam pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday to sending sexual communicat­ions to the decoy as well as having the indecent images.

Azam, from Shawlands, was put on a community payback order with three years supervisio­n by Sheriff Andrew Cubie.

Sheriff Cubie told Azam: “These are very serious matters and could warrant a custodial sentence.

“However, I have taken into account the short term nature and time since the offences took place.

“The number of images received was of a limited amount.”

Azam was also put on the sex offenders register for three years.

The court heard Azam believed he was chatting on Skype was chatting to 14-year-old.

Prosecutor Claire Wallace said: “He identified as disabled and in a wheelchair. He stated still works in his body.

“He identified to the child he would like to have sex with her and then sent an image of a naked male. He stated that he couldn’t wait to make her a real woman.”

Police later raided his home and found the child porn.

Lawyer Tracy Paterson, defending, said: “He knows even if a 14 or 15 year old on the internet wants to engage in sexual chat, he is the adult and has to toe the line.” everything
