A former Moray councillor has admitted indecent child image offences.

Sean Morton, 36, who was the Scottish Labour councillor for Fochabers and Lhanbryde, admitted two charges at Elgin Sheriff Court.

One involved indecent images of children, the other was extreme pornographic images. Sentence was deferred until January.

Morton was suspended when the allegations came to light and Labour said he was no longer a party member.

The offences happened in 2013.

He had first appeared at Elgin Sheriff Court on Christmas Eve last year.
