AN IRVINE sex offender is awaiting sentence after he admitted making and possessing child porn.

Alan Andrew, 53, pled guilty to two charges regarding indecent images of children when he appeared before Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

Andrew, of East Broomlands, Irvine admitted to one charge of taking, permitting to be taken, or making indecent images, photographs, or pseudo-photographs of children.

He also admitted to a second charge of having in his possession indecent images, photographs, or pseudo-photographs of children.

Both offences took place over a nine year period between May 1, 2008 and June 21, 2017, both dates inclusive, at another address in Irvine.

Andrew was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for the offences when he appeared before the court on Monday, May 14.

Sentencing was adjourned for criminal justice social work reports.

Andrew will return to the same court later in the year to discover his fate.
