The paedophile ring member told a risk assessor he had never watched pornography, the High Court in Glasgow heard.
A Scots child abuser, who was convicted of being part of a paedophile ring in a drugs den, told a risk assessor he had never watched pornography, a court heard.
The court heard from risk assessor Professor David Cooke, who said Owens “suffers from sexual sadism disorder”, “paedophilic disorder”, and that “virtually all risk factors for future sexual violence are present". Owens was interviewed on three occasions in 2024 and admitted involvement in drug dealing, the court heard.
“In summary, given Mr Owen’s history, the nature of his risk factors for sexual violence, if he was at liberty I consider he would be high risk to members of the public at large.” Defending, Mr Allan said: “After he says to you, ‘I didn’t do it’ and said things about who might be responsible for the position he is in, what further discussion are you expecting?”
Mr Allan said: “You asked him about his viewing of pornography and he said he didn’t do it. You asked him about top-shelf magazines and he said he hadn’t done that. In your report you described that as improbable.”
