CONVICTED (2023) | Scott Fleming, born c. 1996, of Redburn Road, Prestonpans EH32 9NA – downloaded depraved bestiality videos.

Fleming was found to have downloaded the films to his mobile phone when police officers raided his home in Prestonpans on May 10, 2021.

Prosecutor Debbie King told the court that police arrived at the home Fleming shared with older brother Gordon Fleming with a search warrant.

Ms King said that officers from the National Child Abuse Unit searched the property and seized electrical equipment including a phone, a laptop and an external hard drive.

Four MP4 videos were discovered on the mobile device showing “sexual acts between an adult female and a horse, a pig and an adult male and a dog”.

Ms King added that one film also featured “an adult female and an adult male inserting a live moving drill into another man’s penis”.

Fleming pleaded guilty to possessing extreme pornographic material depicting bestiality but walked free from court with a community order. He also escaped being placed on the sex offenders register.

His brother Gordon Fleming, born c. 1994, also appeared in the dock accused of possessing child sex abuse images but he had his plea of not guilty accepted by the Crown.

Sentencing | nine month supervision order; 162 hours of unpaid work in the community.
