Bambridge pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to possessing and permitting indecent photographs of children.

He also admitted to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner by exchanging messages expressing interest in raping and torturing babies and children.

Bambridge used the app Kik to communicate with fellow “perverts” to discuss what they would do to children in “school uniform.”

Sentence was deferred for reports until next month by Sheriff Alan Mackenzie.

Bambridge, from Glasgow’s Broomhouse area, was remanded in custody.
