Hide AdDetective chief inspector Richard Banks, of the National Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “Chalmers acted with no regard to the young victims in the images and videos he was viewing and was under the mistaken belief the internet would provide him with anonymity and would prevent him being caught.
“Our investigation and today’s result proves he was wrong. Any form of child sexual abuse is a serious criminal offence and is a priority for Police Scotland.”
Chalmers was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison and was placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.
