A Scottish paedophile who was snared by his eagle-eyed wife who recognised his penis in vile online chats with 'children' has been chased from his home by protestors.
James Kemp was left away from his property in the Touch area of Dunfermline, Fife, by officers on Tuesday night after a group of angry locals gathered following the discovery that he had been housed there.
Shouts of "paedo" and "beasty b******" were heard from the mob as hooded Kemp walked away with the police guard, reports the Record. The 45-year-old was jailed for 18 months after he admitted attempting to send sexual communications to underage girls in January 2018.

The 'girls' Kemp thought he was speaking to were actually members of a paedophile hunter group who gathered evidence against him before turning up at the home he shared with his ex-wife and being invited inside.
The Record previously reported how Hayley was shocked to hear of what her husband was being accused of and demanded to see the proof. She said: "Straight away, I wanted to see the proof and I told them to come in. That was it, my world just went 'bang'.
"They showed me it and I said it was one million percent him. There were pictures of him with his hand down his joggers, that I bought for him, and he pulled them down.
"You could see his wristband and his watch. I identified everything, even his bits. I don't know how many police cars and vans there were but the street was packed. He got carted off in handcuffs and I didn't see him again until the day he got sentenced in December."
Kemp, who was previously chased from another address in Cowdenbeath, remains on the sex offenders' register.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were called around 6.45pm on Tuesday, 15 November, to a report of a crowd gathering outside a property in Law Road, Dunfermline. "Officers attended and the crowd dispersed. No arrests were made."
