A pervert was caught with 213 indecent images of children.

Murtada Alhelal, 23, was snared with the sick haul at a flat in Glasgow’s Sandyhills on September 24 2021.

The city’s Sheriff Court heard a warrant was granted and an iPhone was recovered which belonged to Alhelal.

Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “A total of 213 indecent moving images were found after an examination.”

The court heard examples of some of the images which included male and female children - the youngest being three-years-old.

The files were put on the phone between June 6 and August 31 2021.

He pleaded guilty to possession of indecent images. 

Sentence was deferred pending background reports until November by Sheriff Iain Fleming.

Alhelal was put on the sex offenders register and granted bail meantime.
