October 2021 Man caught with child sexual abuse images avoids going to prison A pervert avoided jail after being caught with child sex abuse images on two mobile phones. Joshua Tutty was caught on July 2 last year after cops raided his Kirkintilloch home with a search warrant. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Tutty was found in the bedroom of the property and a search uncovered a Samsung and LG phone. Depute fiscal Lauren Ram Sangray told the court the devices were examined at the Police Scotland cyber crime unit. On searching them they found category A, B and C moving and still images on the devices. One featured a small child between the age of five and seven, the court was told. There were four Category A images, including two videos; four Category B, including two videos; and eight Category C, including two videos. Tutty will now be on the sex offenders register for two years. Sheriff Allan McKay said: “This is an abhorrent offence, absolutely disgraceful. “My sentencing powers are restricted and that is why I am about to make you the offer I’m about to make you. “If you fail on this order matters will come back to me and I will use the full extent of my custodial sentencing powers.” He was placed on a community payback order with two years’ supervision and a conduct requirement to attend the Moving Forward, Making Changes programme. He was also put on a tag that will keep him at home between the hours of 8pm and 5am for two months. Tutty must also tell his supervising officer about any devices he owns that can access the internet.
