The Edinburgh Paedophile, Darren Paton, has received a twelve-year prison sentence for committing sexual offences against minors.
Darren Paton, 44, was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday, 12 May 2025, after being found guilty at the same court on Friday, 11 April 2025.
The incidents occurred in Fife from 2013 to 2023 and involved two minors.
Detective Constable Steven Grant of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit said: “We acknowledge the sentencing of Darren Paton, who will now face the consequences of actions.
“We remain committed to thoroughly investigating those responsible for these types of crimes and bringing them to justice.
“Any form of child sexual abuse is a serious criminal offence and is a priority for Police Scotland. We encourage anyone with concerns about a child at risk of abuse, or a potential victim, to contact police immediately.”
Why the f*** Darren Paton has been given anonymity by Police Scotland is beyond us. He won’t be able to keep offending if we see him coming, maybe that is why?
