Amazon axe paedo author's kids book

A KIDS book by a Scots child sex abuser has been binned by Amazon.

Twisted Simon Carroll, 46, wrote Mini Monster Mystery: An Andrew Aims Adventure under a fake name.

The beast - jailed for four years for abusing two boys used the pseudonym SD Lang.

Victim Ross Thompson suffered severe trauma into adulthood which led to him losing his life after battling drugs. His sister, Kirsty Astbury, said: "I feel relieved how quickly Amazon acted.

"I'm hopefully protecting others and stopping someone with that history profiting from children through their writing.

"But I still feel angry the book was even available in the first place. It's shocking it got that far. This is the problem with using different names. We don't always know who it really is."
