Paedophile jailed at Dundee court for third child abuse offence

Paedophile David Robertson was jailed.
David Robertson.

A paedophile who was discovered with a haul of baby rape videos has been sent to prison for 28 months.

The sickening haul was found when convicted sex offender David Robertson was discovered with child abuse material for the third time in a decade.

Robertson was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and under a supervised release for a further 14 months.

Dundee Sheriff Court was told Robertson had illicit images on a phone which police officers found hidden under the pillow in his bedroom.

Further images – featuring babies being raped – were found on a second device during a morning raid on his home in Cupar on May 9 this year.

Third similar crime

Fiscal depute Gavin Burton told the court: “This is his third offence of a directly analogous nature.

“Police received intelligence to the effect there may be a device within the locus which contained indecent images of children.

“A search was carried out.

“There was a mobile phone under the pillow in the bedroom.

“An examination proved positive for indecent images of children.”

Mr Burton told the court the images featured children aged from birth to 10 years old being sexually assaulted by adults and other children.

Previous offences

In August 2018, The Courier told how Robertson – then a shop assistant living in Methil – was caught with a storage device and two mobile phones which contained more than 300 child abuse images.

Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court heard 23 of the images were of the most serious level.

He admitted taking or permitting indecent photographs of children to be take – by downloading – at his home.

He already had a previous conviction for the same offence dating back to 2012, which had been dealt with by a probation order.
