A pervert was snared with 698 indecent images of children on his computer, a court was told.

William Kirkwood had his home in Glasgow’s Mount Vernon raided by police in July this year following a tip-off.

The 52-year-old was forced to hand over his family computer and two hard drives to officers.

Kirkwood was arrested and taken to a police office where he denied knowing anything about the sick images.

A full examination of his computer and hard drives were carried out by the Cyber Crime Unit.

They found 698 still and moving indecent images of children.

The images features children aged between eight and 15-years-old.

Kirkwood has since moved to the Carntyne area of the city.

Sentence was deferred on Kirkwood until next month for reports and he was bailed.
