Callander man who downloaded almost 2850 sick child sex abuse images jailed

A Callander man was this week jailed for two years for downloading hundreds of images of children and babies being sexually abused.

Darren Kennedy, of Menteith Crescent, had admitted a charge of downloading child abuse images at his home between June 12 and 19, 2019, when he appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last month and was sentenced at Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Police had searched 35-year-old Kennedy’s home in June 2019 and discovered nearly 2850 unique indecent images of children on a laptop, a computer tower system unit and an external hard drive, nearly 700 of them the most serious ‘A’ category. Two indecent videos showing children were also found.
