A Blackstoun Oval Paedophile, Adam Jalowy, has been informed that his conduct will provoke societal outrage following his admission to possessing a collection of indecent photos of children.
Adam Jalowy was apprehended with 172 photographs and videos illustrating the sexual exploitation of children on two iPhones and a laptop.
Some photographs discovered on the paedophile’s phone featured children as young as three years old.
And when police raided the 22-year-old’s Blackstoun Oval property in November 2021, he openly told cops: “It’s on my computer.”
Procurator fiscal depute Michael Cunningham told Paisley Sheriff Court police received information that, on June 14, 2020, a device was connected to the internet and uploaded indecent images of children at Adam Jalowy’s home address. A warrant was later granted.
Mr Cunnigham explained: “At 7.45 am on November 1, 2021, police attended the accused’s property with a search warrant. A search was carried out, and Adam Jalowy asked to speak to police in the hallway, where he stated, ‘It’s on my computer’.
“A black iPhone 13, which the accused claimed ownership of, was seized alongside another iPhone and a Macbook. The accused was arrested and taken to Helen Street police station.
“Around 4 pm, a cybercrime interim report stated child sexual exploitation images consisting of Category A to C depicting male and female children aged approximately three to 14 years old. Jalowy was cautioned and charged and made no response.
Mr Cunningham explained both phones and the Macbook were examined. In total, there were 100 videos and 72 images found; some were duplications. The court heard that on Adam Jalowy’s iPhone 13, there were three Category A images, two Category B images, and four Category C images.
Also on the phone were 14 Category A videos and two Category C videos, all featuring the “sexual exploitation of male and female children aged between three and 14”.
On the Macbook, 49 Category C images were found alongside three Category B and two Category A. Also on the Macbook were 12 Category A and B videos and 23 Category C videos.
Cybercrime cops also examined the other iPhone and found nine images showing the sexual exploitation of children alongside, 18 Category A videos, 12 Category B videos and seven Category C videos.
Adam Jalowy admitted that on various occasions between March 17, 2021 and November 1, 2021 he was in possession of indecent images of children at his home address.
Adam Jalowy also faced a charge that accused him of being in possession of “extreme pornographic images” that depicted bestiality, but the Crown accepted his not guilty plea to this charge.
Defence agent Mark Chambers explained reports would be necessary in this case – highlighting Jalowy has no previous convictions.
Sheriff Eoin McGinty said: “Reports are required for a number of reasons. Firstly, I am duty bound to call for reports to establish all sentencing options, and that includes custody. These are serious offences.
“These offences always revolt society, and it isn’t any easier to hear the depiction of these images that you had. I also need to know the level of threat you have on the community.”
Sheriff McGinty deferred sentence for the preparation of a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment until April 28.
He warned Adam Jalowy: “If you come back here and the reports aren’t done, and it’s your fault, I’ll remand you in custody and I don’t think that’s where you want to be.”
Adam Jalowy was placed on the sex offenders’ register with the period of time to be decided next month.
