Recycling centre found 2,000 indecent child images on Perthshire man’s computer

A Perthshire man who was caught with almost 2,000 indecent images of children will appear for sentence on December 10.

Garry Traill, 29, c/o Kennels Cottage, Old Scone, admitted that between October 23 2009 and March 5 2011 he made indecent photographs of children.

He also pleaded guilty to having indecent images of children in his possession at Barker’s Buildings, Perth, between December 1 2012 and January 3 last year.

Traill was caught when his mother handed a computer into the Friarton Recycling Centre in Perth.

“While it was being reconditioned it was noted there were numerous indecent images of what were believed to be young girls,” depute fiscal Sue Ruta said.

“Believing they were under 16, the staff contacted police.”

Ms Ruta said the police found 1,822 indecent images of young girls and a video clip on the computer.

A second computer had 119 indecent images.
