A pervert was caught with more than 1,500 indecent images of children at his home.
Richard Fleming, 55, was snared with the sick haul in Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, on October 19, 2025.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that someone Fleming met online travelled to his home the day before.
The witness was asked if he wanted to watch "boy porn" before Fleming showed him a sexually explicit video of a young teenager.
When the witness left Fleming's home, he took a USB pen drive which he believed contained indecent pictures on it.
The next day, the police sexual offenders' unit was informed that Fleming had electronic devices which he had not told them about which contained indecent images of children.
This was a breach of a sexual harm prevention order that had already been imposed upon him.

A warrant was granted and a number of devices were seized from Fleming's home for examination which included USB sticks.
Prosecutor Lauren Aitchison said: "There were a total of 349 still images and 1,251 moving images on multiple devices."
The children were aged between one-years-old and 14-years-old.
Fleming pleaded guilty to possession of indecent pictures.
He also admitted distributing indecent pictures and breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Andrew McIntyre.
Fleming had his remand in custody continued meantime.
