Repeat sex offender who preyed on young schoolgirls jailed again

A sex offender who was jailed for preying on young schoolgirls on the internet has been sent back to prison after he was caught with indecent images of children.

Graham King, 54, currently a prisoner at Perth, was back at Dunfermline Sheriff Court for sentencing.

He admitted being in possession of the images between March 13 and April 26 at an address in Queen Margaret Drive, Glenrothes.

Depute fiscal Kyrsten Buist said police had received intelligence about indecent pictures of children being accessed and inquiries led them to King’s home.

When he was told why the officers were there, King said, “It’ll be me and it’ll be on that,” pointing at a tablet.

He went on: “That’s got tons on it.”

Indecent images and films were found on the tablet and also on King’s mobile phone.

The tablet had three movies classed as category A, featuring the worst kind of abuse, as well as four at category B and five at category C.

It also contained one category B image and 35 category C images.

The phone had 23 category C images.

Sheriff Charles MacNair told King: “There were the worst types of film on your devices. It’s happily quite rare to see repeat offending of this nature.”

He jailed King for 16 months, backdated to April 21.

The sheriff imposed a sexual offences prevention order for an indefinite period.

King is also on the sex offenders register.

In 2010, King was jailed for a year after preying on local girls using internet chat lines and sending them indecent images.
