A shamed gun cop caught hoarding horrific child abuse images is living a stone’s throw from two nurseries and a primary school. Andrew Stevenson, 24, moved to Scotland after being spared jail in England, where he worked as a Ministry of Defence Police firearms officer.
Carlisle Crown Court heard he “has a sexual attraction to children as young as seven” and had downloaded “extreme sexual” films showing pre-pubescent kids. He downloaded the illegal images while stationed at the MoD base in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, but has since been sacked.
Now locals in Kilmaurs, Ayrshire, have raised concerns about him living so close to their schools. His home is in a quiet street with a number of young families, less than 500 yards from one nursery and within half a mile of another nursery and primary school.
