‘Guilty’ of child porn

Oct. 27, 2015, 11:42 a.m.

Graham Jones wanted to “spice up” his sex life so downloaded hundreds of child pornography images.

The then-Lavington resident would look through the photos before taking his partner to bed.

But Albury police had been given a tip-off, so when they later scanned the computer they found 865 child pornography images.

These varied from non-sexual to extremely graphic content, including three involving bestiality.

Police facts put before magistrate Tony Murray in Albury Local Court on Tuesday revealed one common denominator – the age of his victims.

All were girls and all were estimated to be aged between five and 10.

Jones, 44, now of Junee, pleaded guilty to producing, disseminating or possessing child abuse material.

He pleaded guilty also to the indecent assault of a person under the age of 16.

Police said this second charge had also been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions to determine whether any other charges should be laid.

The court was told that police became aware Jones had the images on August 30.

They arrested him that day at 3.50pm at his then Shirleen Crescent home and he made admissions to the offences during a police interview.

Jones told police he was saving images from the Internet onto his laptop computer with the intention of “improving his sex life with his partner” as it had “lost its spark”.

Jones viewed the child pornography to arouse himself enough to be able to have sex.

He admitted that he knew what he had done was wrong and told police he had tried to delete some of the images.

That was because he was sickened by his actions in downloading the photos onto his computer.

The second charge relates to an incident in the laundry of his home on the night of August 8 in which he unsuccessfully tried to grope the breast of a 11-year-old girl.

Jones then grabbed the right buttock of the girl as she quickly walked past him.

He will be sentenced on December 17.
