A Scots paedophile who had over a hundred thousand images of child sexual exploitation has been placed on the sex offenders register.
Mark Allen Steven admitted possession of over 100,900 images which depicted children aged between eight and 14 years old when he appeared before Glasgow Sheriff Court .
The images were recovered after police searched the 43-year-old's house in Glasgow on May 8 last year.
A laptop, tablet, memory sticks and a USB were taken and forensically examined following the search which was carried out by Police Scotland's Operation NOCAP.
The majority of images were category C and were inaccessible to police.
His lawyer Richard McKay told the court: "He is very well aware of what options are open to the court eventually here."
The matter was deferred by Sheriff Andrew Cubie in order for social work reports to be prepared.
Steven's bail was continued and he will be sentenced in April after social work reports have been prepared.
