A former Stirlingshire councillor has been handed a community payback order after being caught with sexual abuse images of children on his phone. Ewan Dillon, who formerly represented Labour for Bridge of Allan and Dunblane was ordered to complete 270 hours of unpaid work and placed on supervision for two years.
*blinks* Not very serious category, then?
Reports show the 21-year-old admitted to downloading images on his phone of girls aged between five and ten being raped.
FFS!
He was given his community payback order on Wednesday 31 July, and had his name added to the sex offenders register for five years.
I'm sure after 5 years he'll be safe and no longer a predator...
Helen Nisbet, Procurator Fiscal for Tayside, Central & Fife, said: “Ewan Dillon pleaded guilty to and has now been sentenced for possessing horrendous images of child abuse.
“These are not victimless crimes. They perpetuate the humiliation and devastation suffered by child victims of sexual abuse and are an affront to society.
"We will always treat these crimes seriously."
Good god, Helen, I'd hate to see how you'd treat them leniently? Give him the keys to the town, perhaps?
After being arrested and cautioned, he said: “All I want to say on the record is that it’s an accident.
“It’s a link, something has been downloaded, or sent to me, and I’ve deleted it. The fact of the matter is that it has been on my phone at one point but I deleted it.”
The fact of the matter is that you've got away almost scotfree for something that should have earned you jail time.

Apparently they're remaking an old musical with Huw Edwards as the major character. It's called Kiddie Fiddler on the Roof. I thang you.
