Edinburgh Man Convicted of Child Abuse | Edinburgh News
Description
A 65-year-old Edinburgh man, Douglas Dunbar, has been convicted of possessing over 17,000 child abuse images — some of infants just months old — after police found them on hard drives and a laptop during a 2024 raid. Despite claiming the files were work-related and backed up from Africa, the jury rejected his story. He’s now facing an additional 21 months in prison, to be served consecutively with his existing sentence for supplying drugs to sex workers and sexually assaulting two women — one of whom died from an overdose in his van. The judge stressed that his actions fuel child abuse, and Dunbar will be on the sex offenders register for 10 years and may be barred from working with children.
