Gordon Ward, who was sentenced to two years and three months imprisonment after he arranged to meet a who he believed was a child in a garage kitted out as a bedroom, was spotted in the Jobcentre Plus on Princes Street earlier today.

The vile pervert was caught when paedophile hunters, who had created a fake profile of a child online, came to meet Ward at his garage in Penhill back in April 2018.

It’s understood that the former Penhill Drive resident left prison on Wednesday.
