Topic: Handsome television host sentenced for possessing child pornography
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #22,539
Former ABC presenter Andy Muirhead's claim he is not a pedophile has been rejected by a judge who handed him a 10-month sentence for downloading thousands of child pornography images.
Tasmanian Chief Justice Ewan Crawford has sentenced Muirhead to three months' jail for possessing child exploitation material, and another seven for accessing it.
The 36-year-old will, however, be free in five months with the backdating of the first sentence and the cutting of the second with security of a $5000, three-year period of good behaviour.
Muirhead had pleaded guilty to three charges of downloading more than 12,000 pornographic images and videos, some of them described as "sadistic" and featuring 1930 different children as young as three years old.

it'd be funnier if it were Chris Hansen because that'd be a bit ironic

It's funny because I didn't think Tasmania was real.

> Muirhead's psychologist, Dr Janet Haines, had given evidence last month that he had viewed the images because of work stress rather than out of sexual interest.
"I'm pretty stressed from work, I better download some child porn."

I don't even understand that as a legal argument...I think it's just aimed at salvaging his reputation

Child porn has proven stress reducing effects. Take Kimmo Alm for example: that guy was placid as a mountain lake 24/7.
