A PERVERT who moved to Glasgow and breached a court order by deleting internet search history was jailed for nine months on Thursday.

Peter Philp, 66, was guilty in July last year of five child porn charges.

He was handed a 12 month suspended sentence in England and put on the sex offenders register.

Philp was also ordered not to delete internet history or permit anyone else to do so.

He moved to a house in Glasgow Govan area and was put under surveillance of Police Scotland.

Philp’s iPad was searched last December and was found to have no search history.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Philp claimed he hadn’t watched porn for several weeks.

Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “He provided no reason for no search history.”

Philp was ordered to hand over all his devices for further examination.

Mr Allan told the court 392 articles were deleted from the devices by Philp and he was arrested.

Philp pleaded guilty to breaching his court order by deleting internet search history.

Sheriff Paul Crozier said: “This was a serious matter and I’m satisfied the the only way to deal with this is a custodial sentence.”
