Detective Inspector Slams Offender’s “Reprehensible” Online Actions

Detective Inspector I. Ure from Police Scotland’s National Child Abuse Investigation Unit blasted the man’s behaviour. “Reid’s online behaviour was reprehensible with no regard to the young victims depicted in the images he was viewing,” he said.
