Edinburgh pervert caught with vile haul of child abuse videos after cops raid home

An Edinburgh man who was caught with a haul of child abuse and bestiality videos has been placed on the sex offenders register.

Willum Webster admitted having the vile footage including abuse on children aged between two and ten.

Webster appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, June 17, as videos were heard showing the victims of sexual abuse in clear distress during their ordeals.

The Record report how he also had bestiality videos showing adult woman in sexual activity with animals.

Webster admitted charged of possessing indecent photos of children and "extreme" pornographic material including humans and animals.

Webster's home in Abbeyhill was searched after officers executed a warrant, with Fiscal depute Gavin Marshall saying a tablet and mobile phone were seized during the operation.

Mr Marshall said: “In the videos some of the children are in extreme distress.”

The prosecutor said “extreme pornography movies” were uncovered involving women and animals.

The mobile phone contained images of girls aged between babies and twelve-years-old across Categories A, B and C.

Dozens of still images and nearly 30 videos were found in total.

Interviewed by cops about the child abuse material, Webster replied: “I don’t know how those got onto my tablet.”

Asked about the bestiality videos, he said: “I’ve got them. I’ve watched them. Once I’m done with them I delete them straight away. That’s why there’s nothing on my phone.”

On Friday Webster admitted possessing the material between December 15 2020 and September 9 last year when police swooped on his home.

Sheriff Robert Fife deferred sentence on Webster until next month for reports and placed him on the sex offenders register.
