A Scots pervert who was caught with hundreds of vile child abuse images has been jailed.
James Luby, 59, was found to have downloaded pictures and videos of children being sexually abused by adults when police raided his home in Tranent, East Lothian, last year. Luby stored the horror haul of male and female children aged between eight and 12-years-old on a mobile phone that was found during the police search.
He admitted the offence during a hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in September but fled to London before he could be sentenced. A warrant was issued for his arrest and Luby subsequently appeared in the dock from custody for sentencing at the capital court on Wednesday.
