Craig Edward showed no emotion while being sentenced as the sheriff described the former Clydebank councillor's crime as 'plumbing the depths of depravity and abuse”.
A disgraced former West Dunbartonshire councillor has been jailed for 28 months after being caught with a haul of indecent images of children.
Edward, who was West Dunbartonshire Council’s convenor of housing and communities until his arrest in September 2022, last month pled guilty at Dumbarton Sheriff Court to three charges covering a six year period between March 2016 and September 2022.READ MORE: Mum of murdered Glasgow boy still calling for change to law two decades later
“You have no past criminal history and put yourself forward to help others. But I’m not obliged to apply much weight to that. Despite his conviction last month, Edward only resigned last week after coming under pressure from his former Labour colleagues - who were about to call for him to be removed from office.
