A fugitive paedophile who fled Scotland after being convicted of possessing indecent photos of children has been jailed.
William Dempster, 46, jetted off to Thailand in 2014 after being convicted of hoarding a stash of over 60,000 images. He fled the country before he was due to be sentenced, and detectives discovered he had travelled to Bangkok via Heathrow Airport.
