A Linwood man is facing trial accused of hoarding pornographic images of children in his home over a six-year period.

James Lewis is said to have had indecent images at a property in Belmar Court between November 2009 and May last year.

The 58-year-old is facing two charges under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.

He denies taking, permitting images to be taken, or making images in breach of Section 52(1)(a) of the Act, and also denies breaking Section 52A(1) of the Act by being in possession of banned images.

He is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court this week for a pre-trial hearing ahead of his trial, which is scheduled for later this month.
