A Te Kuiti man caught with pictures of children being sexually abused has been sentenced to 10 months' imprisonment.
Sickness beneficiary Daniel James Parry, 35, appeared for sentence in the Tauranga District Court today after pleading guilty to 20 charges of possessing objectionable publications, a statement from the Department of Internal Affairs said.
An Internal Affairs Inspector downloaded more than 30 objectionable files from Parry's computer including movies and images of children from six to 13 years old being sexually abused and in explicit sexual poses.
Parry's laptop was found beneath a mattress in his bedroom, and a forensic analysis of the computer showed he had used a number of file-sharing programmes to seek and obtain images and movies of child sexual abuse material.
