A 26-year-old unemployed Auckland man has been jailed after investigators found 80,000 pictures and 1200 movies of children being sexually abused on his computer.
Browns Bay resident Aaron Potter was jailed for 25 months after pleading guilty to 40 charges of distributing and possessing objectionable publications in North Shore District
Court yesterday.
The Department of Internal Affairs executed two search warrants on Potter in 2010 after receiving complaints about a New Zealander posting objectionable material on the Internet.
He was already facing prosecution when an inspector, operating on the Internet, caught him again.
Forensic examination of his computer showed he had over 80,000 picture files and 1200 movies showing children being sexually abused.
