AYR PERVERT STEVEN LITTLE SENTENCED FOR CHILD AND ANIMAL ABUSE IMAGES
In December 2018, a man from Ayr faced serious legal consequences after admitting to possessing disturbing images involving both children and animals.Steven Little, aged 22 and residing on Whitletts Road in Ayr, appeared before Ayr Sheriff Court to be sentenced for his involvement in these heinous activities.
The court was informed that Little had been found in possession of indecent photographs or pseudo-photos depicting minors, as well as extreme pornographic images that involved acts of bestiality.
These illicit materials were reportedly collected over a period from late February to late May 2018, specifically between February 28 and May 23, at his residence on Russell Drive in Ayr.
During the hearing, solicitor John Gallagher highlighted that Sheriff Desmond Leslie had access to a detailed report concerning Little’s case.
Gallagher stated, “There is a very specific disposal recommended to him,” indicating that a tailored punishment was being considered.
He further expressed agreement with the proposed high tariff community payback order combined with extensive supervision, suggesting that this approach was appropriate given the severity of the offences.
Sheriff Leslie addressed Little directly, remarking, “Mercifully for your point of view, matters came to a head with this interest you had — which could’ve been explored further — and police challenged you.” The sheriff emphasized the importance of compliance, stating that Little would be required to participate in the “Moving Forward Making Changes” programme and that his liberty would be restricted for a period of three months.
Little pleaded guilty to two counts: possessing indecent images or pseudo-photos of children between February 28 and May 23, 2018, and being in possession of extreme pornographic images involving bestiality during the same period.
Both offences took place at his home on Russell Drive in Ayr.
As part of his sentence, Little was ordered to undergo three years of supervision, with a three-month tag, and was mandated to participate in the “Moving Forward Making Changes” programme.
Additionally, he was placed on the sex offenders’ register, and his mobile phone and laptop were confiscated by authorities, ensuring that evidence of his activities was removed from his possession.
This case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat the distribution and possession of illegal and exploitative material, especially involving vulnerable minors and animals.
The court’s decision reflects the seriousness with which such offences are treated within the Scottish justice system.
