CONNOR WHITE FROM MUSSELBURGH REARRESTED FOR THIRD OFFENSE INVOLVING CHILD ABUSE IMAGES AND EXTREME PORNOGRAPHY

Connor White, a man originally from Musselburgh, has once again found himself in legal trouble following his latest court appearance related to serious offenses involving child abuse images and extreme pornography. White, who has a troubling history of offenses, was previously placed on the sex offenders' register after being caught with a significant collection of child abuse material. His past conviction involved admitting to possessing hundreds of images, including videos depicting the sexual abuse of infants, which led to a sentence that included a three-year registration requirement, supervision, an unpaid work order, and restrictions on contact with anyone under the age of 17.

Despite these stringent measures, White's criminal activities persisted. Last week, he appeared in court once more, this time admitting to possessing a single image of extreme pornography that depicted bestiality. The incident occurred on June 14 of the previous year, and it was uncovered during a routine police visit to his former residence. During this visit, officers attended to monitor his compliance with the conditions of his community order. White handed over a mobile phone to the officers, which was subsequently examined by cybercrime specialists. The investigation revealed that he had downloaded one image of extreme pornography, further demonstrating his ongoing engagement with illegal material.

At the time of his latest arrest, White was 23 years old and was living in Bilston, Midlothian. During police interviews, he chose not to respond to questions, which is often a tactic used by individuals in such circumstances. His legal representative stated that White was making progress under the terms of his community order, which was still active at the time of his arrest. Despite this, the court took a serious view of his continued offenses. The sheriff presiding over the case ordered White to be added back to the sex offenders' register and postponed sentencing until the following month to allow for updated background reports to be prepared.

White was specifically charged with possessing the extreme pornographic image at a property located on Old Course Gate in Musselburgh, between June 11 and June 14 of the previous year. The court's decision underscores the ongoing concern regarding his behavior and the potential risk he poses to the community, especially given his history and the nature of the offenses involved.
