Azam, who is wheelchair-bound and claimed to be disabled, initiated contact with the decoy on Skype, believing he was communicating with a young girl.
During their exchanges, he made alarming statements, including expressing a desire to make her a "real woman." He insisted that everything still functioned in his body and even sent an explicit image of a naked male, further revealing his intentions and state of mind.
Throughout the conversations, Azam explicitly stated his wish to have sexual relations with the girl, which raised serious concerns about his intentions.
His comments and the nature of the messages prompted law enforcement to intervene.
The police had set up a decoy operation, and Azam was eventually caught in the act, believing he was speaking to a minor.
Further investigation revealed that Azam possessed a collection of indecent images of children.
Police officers executed a search warrant at his residence in Shawlands, where they discovered multiple devices containing illegal material.
The evidence confirmed his involvement in the possession and distribution of child exploitation content.
Azam appeared before Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he pleaded guilty to charges of sending sexual communications to the decoy and possessing indecent images of children.
His case has been scheduled for sentencing next month.
The court has continued his bail status in the meantime, pending the final judgment.
Prosecutor Claire Wallace provided details of the case, emphasizing the severity of Azam’s actions and the potential harm caused by such online predatory behavior.
The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat online child exploitation and protect vulnerable individuals from predators operating under the guise of anonymity on the internet.
