A married security guard sent horrific messages about baby rape to other paedophiles to whom he was distributing extreme child and animal abuse videos.
Carl Harvey, 39, was warned he faces being sent to prison because of the nature of the material and his involvement in sending it to others.
Harvey told another online paedophile he wanted to rape a child and make her pregnant so he could go on and rape his own baby.
Fiscal depute Lora Apostolova told Dundee Sheriff Court: “In March 2021, information was received by Police Scotland that indecent images of children may be held at his address.
“A search warrant was sought.
“At 8.15am officers attended to execute the warrant.
“The accused answered the door and a systematic search was carried out of the property.
“A phone and tablet were recovered from a bedroom cabinet.
“They were found to contain indecent images of children.”
Harvey told police: “I admit it.”
More than an hour of material
Mrs Apostolova told the court the majority of the material was at the most extreme end of the scale, showing boys as young as one being raped.
“There were extreme videos showing men and women involved in sexual acts with dogs and horses.
“The video run time was one hour and 15 minutes.
“The accused had distributed 18 files,” she said, adding he had been messaging other users in a “super-secret group” online.
In one message he made the vile rape statement and he also commented graphically on the physical appearance of naked children.
Harvey, of City Road, Brechin, admitted distributing indecent images of children on various occasions between November 21 2018 and January 16 2021.
He also admitted downloading indecent images between November 21 2018 and March 17 2021.
Sheriff Gregor Murray deferred sentence for background reports and granted Harvey bail but warned him that he faces a custodial sentence.
He said: “There are a number of significant aggravations in relation to these charges – the nature of the images, the ages of the children involved and in particular, the distribution of images and videos.”
