A TARBERT man who downloaded and distributed more than 500 images of child pornography was sent to prison for a year by a Campbeltown sheriff.
Last Thursday Sheriff Ruth Anderson QC told Andrew Crichton Robertson that only a custodial sentence ‘shows society’s abhorrence’ for his crimes.
In January, Robertson, 46, of 7 Bruce Hill, Tarbert, pleaded guilty to three charges: firstly, that between April 22, 2012, and March 21, 2016, he had taken or permitted to be taken indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children. A further charge of possession and that on September 26, 2015, he distributed indecent photographs of children.
