A pensioner has been convicted of historical child abuse stretching back almost 60 years.

James Bryson was found guilty of attacks on four youngsters between December 1969 and November 1994.

The now 69-year-old initially preyed on a girl at a flat in the north of Glasgow.

Bryson, of Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, went on to rape the same child.

Bryson further indecently assaulted a young boy at another flat in the city.

He molested a second girl and then abused a third by playing a ‘game’ which involved her taking off her clothes.

Bryson was convicted of a total of five charges following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

These included rape as well as using lewd and libidinous behaviour.

Judge Matthew Jackson KC deferred sentencing until April 14 in Edinburgh.
