A monster who sexually abused children has been jailed.
William King was sentenced to six years behind bars at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday.
The paedophile abused two girls and a boy during the eighties and early noughties in Edinburgh and Fife.
King, 57, was arrested and charged in 2020 before being found guilty last month of various sexual assaults against his young victims.
Officers from the Capital’s Public Protection Unit launched an investigation after a number of survivors came forward.
Police hailed King's victims for their 'great courage' and stressed that 'all reports of sexual assault' will be investigated 'regardless of the passage of time'.
Detective Inspector Jonny Wright said: “The survivors of King’s horrific sexual abuse have shown great courage in coming forward with vital information, which ultimately led to his conviction.
“His actions were appalling and he will now face justice for the offences he committed.
“All reports of sexual assault, regardless of the passage of time, will be thoroughly investigated by Police Scotland and victims will be supported throughout.
"Should you wish to report a sexual crime to Police Scotland, then please do so via 101, by making an anonymous report to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
