Anthony 'Danny' Burns pleaded guilty to a raft of online sex offences against children and adults - including victims in Aberdeen and Alloa - between May 2018 and March 2021.
A dangerous internet predator who blackmailed and controlled at least 27 women targeted two Scottish women, a court has been told. Anthony 'Danny' Burns pleaded guilty to a raft of online sex offences against children and adults - including his victims in Aberdeen and Alloa - which took place between May 2018 and March 2021.
He would occasionally pose as a modelling agent and, after making contact with the women, would move their conversation to WhatsApp before asking them to send sexual photographs or videos in exchange for £600, which he never paid. When he had received enough explicit material, Burns threatened to expose the pictures to the victims' families and friends unless they sent more increasingly depraved photographs and videos. He would record the video calls and save the recordings to the cloud so he could access them again later.
