Scots paedo with sick pics of BABIES & videos of young kids being abused dodges jail
A depraved pervert caught with sick photographs of baby girls being sexually abused has dodged jail.
Owen Hanley was caught with a disturbing collection of still images and videos of females aged between six months and 12-years-old being sexually abused.
He appeared for sentence at Livingston Sheriff Court on Thursday after earlier pleading guilty to possessing 53 still images of children being subjected to sexual acts and four videos featuring similar disgusting scenes.
An earlier hearing heard that police raided Hanley’s home in Crosshill Drive, Bathgate, after a tip-off that his web account had been used for downloading indecent images.
After obtaining a search warrant officers visited his house at 9am on Monday 2 November this year.
When they found a laptop computer on his desk in a bedroom, Hanley told them: “You’ll find things on there”.
A forensic examination of Hanley’s computer retrieved 53 still images in categories A to C – where A is rated as the worst form of abuse – and four videos in categories A to B.
The most graphic images showed penetrative sexual behaviour with young children, depute fiscal Connor Muir said.
Passing sentence in Hanley’s absence due to Covid rules, Sheriff Martin Edington said such offences were “always a serious matter”.
He made Hanley subject to a community payback order placing him under social work supervision for 18 months.
He warned that if Hanley failed to comply with all aspects of the order he would be brought back to court to face the likelihood of a prison sentence.
The sheriff said Hanley’s name would also remain on the sex offenders’ register for 18 months.

Pervert delivery driver asked schoolgirl to call him ‘daddy’ and wanted a picture of her in uniform
A depraved delivery driver asked one girl for pictures in her school uniform and told another that he planned to meet her for sex.
Alexander Potter contacted the online profile of ‘14-year-old Scarlett’ and sent messages including “do you want daddy to take your virginity?”.
The 47-year-old, also made contact with a second online account who he believed to be a teenager called Lucy telling her he wanted to meet up for sex.
But both online profiles had been set up by adult decoys connected to the paedophile hunter groups Maximum Exposure UK and Groom Resistors UK who subsequently contacted the police.
Potter pleaded guilty to two charges of indecently communicating with who he believed to be a child when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
His not guilty plea to arranging to meet with one of the girls for sex at a caravan park in Dunbar, East Lothian, was accepted by the Crown.
Sheriff Alistair Noble placed Potter, from Prestonpans, on the Sex Offenders Register and deferred full sentence to next month.
Fiscal depute Gavin Whyte told the court Potter contacted Scarlett on the hi5 social media site on August 26, 2019 and soon began sending her “flirtatious” messages before the contact moved to WhatsApp.
Mr Whyte said ‘Scarlett’ said she was 14-years-old and still at school but Potter continued to message the account.
He demanded she send him a picture of her dressed in her school uniform and sent horrific sexual comments describing sex acts he wanted the girl to engage in.
Among the explicit messages Potter said he wanted to “kiss your sweet lips while sitting on my lap” and “as long as no one sees us it will be OK”.
He also told her “we would have to do it where we would not be seen… like the woods or a building somewhere”.
The fiscal added: “The sexually explicit messages to Scarlett continued and included the accused graphically describing what he wanted to do to Scarlett.
“He also made comments such as ‘don’t worry I don’t want you getting pregnant’ and ‘do you want daddy to take your virginity?’”
The adult decoy then contacted the police and handed over the online chat logs she had saved.
Mr Whyte added Potter also made contact with ‘14-year-old Lucy’ on the Kick platform on September 22, 2019 and his profile included his image and used the name Alex P.
The fiscal said the sordid messages included “I want to meet you, I want to kiss you” and “I could go to jail but I still want you”.
The second adult decoy then contacted the police when she heard Potter had been arrested for messaging the first girl.
Potter pleaded guilty to sending sexual communication and repeated sexual remarks to an adult pretending to be a child, encouraging her to send him a picture of herself in a school uniform, describe sexual activity with her and encourage her to call you ‘daddy’ at an address in Dunbar, East Lothian between August 26 and September 29, 2019.
He also admitted sending written combination to a second adult pretending to be child and asking to kiss her and have sex with her at the same address between September 22 and October 1, 2019.
A not guilty plea to making arrangements to meet a child for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity at Dunbar Caravan Park, East Lothian, on September 29, 2019 was accepted by the Crown.

PlayStation perv caught with over 1000 child abuse photos on his console
A PlayStation pervert was found with more than a thousand child abuse photos on his console, a court in Scotland heard.
Jonathan McGregor also downloaded videos and photographs showing youngsters being subjected to sickening sexual acts on his mobile phone
Police raided his house in West Lothian, after receiving information that the IP address had been used to access explicit images of children.
Officers searched his bedroom after obtaining a search warrant following the tip-off on March 10, prosecutor Jim Robertson told the court.
They took away a number of items, including a PlayStation and a mobile phone.
Robertson said: “These items were fully examined by the police and indecent images were found on both devices.
“The accused was subsequently detained. He was interviewed and admitted that that was his bedroom and that the items taken away for police examination were his.”
He added there were four category ‘A’ videos – deemed the most severe – and 31 category ‘C’ images of children on the phone.
Police discovered 74 category ‘A’ photographs, 76 category ‘B’ and 1,098 category ‘C’ images on the PlayStation.
Mr Roberston said at Livingston Sheriff Court: “Can I say in fairness to the accused and his solicitor this was always going to be a plea? But it couldn’t be done any sooner because we required the full forensic report before a plea could be acceptable.”
McGregor, 50, who now lives in Bushmills in Northern Ireland, pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children between October 18, 2019, and March 3 this year.
His not guilty pleas to taking indecent images of children and possessing extreme porn of adults performing sexual acts on animals were accepted by the Crown.
Sheriff Peter Hammond called for a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment and deferred sentence until February 4 for McGregor’s personal appearance.
He also ordered that the accused’s name be added to the sex offenders’ register with immediate effect and said the length of time he would remain subject to reporting requirements would be decided when sentence is passed.
