These images were found at a flat located in the Tullos area of Aberdeen, highlighting a pattern of disturbing behavior that spanned several months.
During the proceedings at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, Kennedy did not deny the charges.
He admitted to intentionally causing the young girl to engage in sexual activity, a confession that led to his sentencing.

These legal actions reflect the seriousness of Kennedy’s crimes and the efforts of the justice system to protect vulnerable individuals from potential harm.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need for robust measures to prevent such offenses in the future.
