A MAN is being prosecuted for allegedly making and possessing child sex abuse images at his home.

Alan Marsh, 50, is said to have committed the offences between October 2012 and January this year.

Prosecutors claim he also hoarded bestiality images – showing people having sex with animals – between December 2014 and January 2018 at his former home in Arthur Street, Paisley.

Marsh faces three charges under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 and is being prosecuted at Paisley Sheriff Court.

The case against Marsh, now of Causeyside Street, Paisley, called for the first time in public last week for a pre-trial hearing to take place.

He maintains his innocence and the case was adjourned until later this month for another pre-trial hearing to take place.
