A SEX offender jailed in 2020 for abusing and filming a seven-year-old child in Largs has admitted to further crimes committed during a 27-year period.

Alfred Brown's sordid additional offences came to light while he was serving time for historical abuse against a young girl, a court was told.

Brown, 64, took, made and had possession of indecent photographs of children on various occasions at an address between November 1993 and December 2020.

It is understood that a camcorder was used by him during the commission of the offences.

His crimes in Largs spanned a 16-year period.

Sheriff Michael Higgins has called upon prosecutors to supply more information for a narrative of the facts in the latest case before proceeding to sentence Brown — who now lives in Clydebank.

The move comes after the sheriff was provided with a victim impact statement.

Sheriff Higgins said: "There is no named individual either in the narrative [of the facts] or in the charges, so I have no way of knowing if this person [who submitted the impact statement] is involved in the charges.

"I don't think that the Crown narrative is sufficient in detail.

"On that basis I'm going to continue these matters for this to be addressed.

"I think that is essential."

Brown was jailed at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court in August 2020.

The pervert — who is a musician — featured in the pages of the Telegraph's sister paper, the Largs News, in 2011 after joining band called 'The Sharps' and was known locally as Alfie Brown.

He used filming equipment to record his young victim and repeatedly compelled her to expose her underwear to him.

Brown also captured footage of the primary school pupil while she was asleep and while he indecently touched her.

As well as 17-month prison term backdated to March 2020, he was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

His lawyer, Paul Keenan, said: "During his period of imprisonment police found more, previously unseen, footage and this was due to the scale of the investigation."

Sheriff Higgins has deferred sentence on Brown, who committed the additional offences at an address in Port Glasgow, until next month.
