A man convicted of possessing indecent images of children who fled the UK before he could be sentenced is now behind bars.
William Dempster was convicted in 2014, fleeing the country soon after. Today he has been sent to prison for 18 months and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years after being extradited back from Asia.
He had been found with over 60,000 indecent images and convicted of the offences in May 2014. He failed to appear at court for the subsequent sentencing hearing and enquiries revealed that he had travelled to Bangkok in Thailand via Heathrow Airport.
