New Zealand: Man sentenced to over three years for possessing child sex abuse material
A New Plymouth man has been sentenced to over three years in prison after child sexual abuse material was found on his laptop and phone.
David Geoffrey Abraham pleaded guilty to several counts for possessing and distributing child exploitation material.
The 49-year-old was charged and sentenced to three years, nine months in jail after the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
“Distributing child sexual abuse images is a borderless crime and requires a collective international response,” said digital child exploitation team Manager Tim Houston.
“Our priority is to ensure that anyone who distributes, makes, and possesses objectionable materials of child sexual abuse imagery are caught, prosecuted, and sentenced.”
Abraham, who is currently in Whanganui Prison on unrelated offences, must register as a child sex offender.
His sentence also includes the destruction of property used in the offending.
