John Begg, prosecuting, said police were called to the address at 5pm on a Saturday. They described Fleming as being drunk and they found a number of magazines and photographs of a sexual nature strewn around his bedroom.

“It was a large window which came fairly close to the floor and the exposure was plain to see,” said Mr Begg.
