Police say they became aware of the 45-year-old Gold Coast childcare worker’s alleged offending after recently identifying video discovered on the dark web in 2014.

He was arrested in August 2022, with police then allegedly discovering a hard drive filled with child abuse material of young girls while executing warrants at his home and other addresses.

Holy shit man. I don’t know what it takes for the death penalty in Australia, but this would be a strong contender in my opinion.

Australia doesn’t have the death penalty.

Well, Australia was the death penalty back in the day. Damn convicts just kept on surviving.

They should send him to a remote prison island as punishment, but he's already on one.

[–] akincisor 2 points 1 year ago

There's a small island north of France where they could send him.

Didn't the Philippines literally try to bring back the death penalty to kill that Aussie Child Pornograhy producer, Peter Scully.

He's the Lionel Messi of child abuse.

He... didn't kick them, though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No but he's really resourceful in tight spaces.
