Former depute fiscal avoids jail over child porn

Former depute fiscal avoids jail over child porn

A FORMER prosecutor who resigned from his post when his career was overshadowed by reports he had sex with a prostitute has been told to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work after admitting downloading indecent images of children.
Stuart MacFarlane, 45, a former depute fiscal, has been placed on a three-year community payback order and will have to accept specialist counselling and psychiatric input where necessary.
MacFarlane kept his secret from his family and spent hours hidden away in a garden hut that was kept for his exclusive use. When detectives with a search warrant went to the property in Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire, last December, they seized two laptops, one of which had an external storage device, and took them for forensic examination.
