A pensioner convicted of historical child abuse stretching back almost 60 years is behind bars.
James Bryson was today sentenced to 10 years at the High Court in Glasgow.
The wheelchair bound 69-year-old - who suffers from a terminal illness - had earlier been found guilty of attacks on four youngsters between December 1969 and November 1994.
He 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 causing her to play a sick game which involved her taking off her clothes.
Bryson was convicted of a total of five charges following a trial earlier this year.
Judge Matthew Jackson KC told the OAP he had committed "truly horrifying sexual offences".
He added: "Your denial of responsibility reflects poorly on you."
The judge further stated those involved remain "profoundly affected" by their ordeal.
Bryson was put on the sex offenders list. He is also banned from approaching or contacting the victims - both for an indefinite period.
