Kite also took screen-shots of a web-page containing "short stories", which depicted disturbing scenes of children being sexually violated by other children and adults.
Police nabbed Kight in an undercover operation where a police officer posed as a 14-year-old boy.
Kight asked the fictitious boy for naked photographs and tried on several occasions to meet up with him.
He fantasised about kidnapping boys in emails and on the gay dating app Grindr.
"In one email you suggested you and the recipient should drive around Wellington, find a child to abduct, and sexually violate him", Judge Barbara Morris said.
While it was accepted Kight made comments regarding kidnapping, there was no allegation he intended to act on them.
Morris said she reduced Kight's sentence because of his guilty plea and mental health issues.
"That is your history, that is your background and no one is suggesting that it's easy to get above that, to turn that around, but I'm sure you have the potential to do that."
