HEYWOOD – A 49-year old man from England has been given a community sentence for downloading more than 33 hours of extreme pornography.
The convicted named as Paul Fettig, formerly a member of music band Montrose, also downloaded hundreds of images of child abuse as well.
A court was told Fettig was caught after his former partner discovered the material on computer equipment and contacted police.
Fettig was placed under supervision for 18 months and he was also ordered to attend a 40-day rehabilitation programme.
Perth Sheriff Court was told at a previous hearing that Fettig had split up with his partner of almost a decade and had left behind several computer hard drives and a mobile phone.
He told her to dispose of the items if she did not want them, but she opened them and found the graphic content prompting him to contact the law enforcers.
Fettig admitted having indecent images of children in Montrose between 2007 and June 2016.
He also admitted to having extreme pornography involving women and dogs between 28 March 2011 and 26 June 2016.
