A pervert grandad who was caught with a horrific video showing the kidnap and rape of a young schoolgirl has been spared a jail sentence. Paul Mackie, 71, was found to have downloaded a vile collection of images and videos of children being abused by adults when kidnapped last year.
One depraved video was entitled “13-year-old Becky walking home from school when she was told the court , taken to a disused warehouse, and raped”. Mackie pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month and he was back in the dock for sentencing Friday.
Solicitor Kevin Connor, defending, custodial sentencehis client “cannot provide any coherent reason for possessing the images”. Mr Connor added Mackie had “initially accessed the images accidentally” but that he then went on to scour the web for more illicit material.
