A notorious paedophile, who is prison pals with US fugitive Nicholas Rossi, was called to testify at his extradition hearing.
William King, who was jailed last March for six years over the horrific abuse of three youngsters, is held at Edinburgh’s Saughton Prison alongside Rossi.
King, 59, claimed rape suspect Rossi was picked on by prison staff who were “constantly hounding” him while he was held on remand.
