A Perth administration worker caught with indecent photos of children has had more restrictions imposed after increasing fears about his behaviour.
Wayne Hopkins was dismissed from his job with Scottish and Southern Energy after being arrested in connection with a collection of 1,000 child and animal images.
He walked free from court in November 2014 after a “conduct requirement” was imposed upon him, but he had caused concerns for social workers because of his continuing interest in illicit material.
Hopkins, 31, of Ethel Moorhead Place, admitted that between February and April 2014 at an address in Sidey Place, he took or permitted to be taken or made indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children.
Sheriff Fiona Tait said: “These were offences that had occurred shortly after the last offence but before the order commenced.”
Hopkins was ordered to undergo supervision for three years, to attend the Tay Project and to complete 160 hours of unpaid work.
He also has to follow a conduct requirement including a condition not to enter areas where children typically are.
