Detective Constable David Adamson, of Fife’s Public Protection Unit, said: “I welcome today’s sentencing and hope that the victims can take some comfort in knowing that Nicholson will spend a considerable amount of time in prison.
“This was a complex and disturbing case and it is right that Nicholson now has to face the consequences of his disgraceful actions.
“Police Scotland is wholly committed to tackling all cases of child abuse, regardless of when the crimes occurred, and we will continue to work alongside our partners to support any victims and ensure offenders are brought to justice.”
