Bestiality film creep dodges jail ... for now
A pervert caught with horrific child abuse images and a bestiality film was told he will have to wait another four weeks for his punishment.
Brian McCallion, 39, was caught with vile material showing girls as young as four being abused, as well as a video featuring women having sex with dogs, when police swooped on his home.
Newlywed McCallion was rumbled barely six months after getting married with more than
5,000 indecent images and videos featuring the sexual abuse of mainly young girls and extreme pornography depicting bestiality.
Paisley Sheriff Court heard it was his wife who answered the door when police armed with a warrant went to the address in Renfrew at around 8am on December 19.
McCallion pleaded guilty to charges of taking or permitting to be taken indecent images of children, possession of these indecent images and possession of extreme pornographic images depicting bestiality between December 6, 2006 and December 19, last year.
Yesterday, when he appeared for sentencing, it emerged that background reports had not been fully prepared, and he was released on bail while they are compiled.
A defence agent told the court: “There is a Criminal Social Work Report available, however, the social work department has not had sight of the narration of the circumstances of the incident.
“The matter would have to be deferred for that transcript to be made available to them.”
The court heard a psychiatric report was missing.
Sheriff James Spy told the creep: “I am continuing matters for the transcript of the Crown’s narration to be made available to the social work department, as it should have been.”
McCallion, who has been placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register, will discover his fate when he reappears for sentencing on November 4.
At a previous court appearance, he was warned by a sheriff that he was facing jail.
During the police raid at his home in December last year, a Compaq computer and a Samsung mobile were recovered.
The Cyber Crime Unit’s analysis of the devices revealed there were 5,470 indecent images on the Compaq device and 22 on the Samsung mobile.
The court heard “extreme pornographic” moving images recovered from the Compaq, “depicted females engaged sexual activity with dogs”.
