Child porn conviction for student : "ONE of Monash University's most outstanding law students has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography images, some of which a magistrate described as 'truly depraved'."
We need to differentiate between the public and private self of anyone. Outstanding intellectual ability and a successful public life doesn't mean you have no inside problems. This man is only 22 . I think it is good he has been found out now because at 22 there is some chance of helping him before it had become a real horror story. I am truly sorry he is like this at this age and there has to be a reason for it. It could be he erroneously clicked on something and the downlaods occurred too fast for him to stop and that's part and parcel of the problem for the young man. I am extremely sorry for those children whose images are on anyone's computer. Where are the pictures from? Whose children are they? If he is to be a lawyer then it's important he would understand how easy it is to become trapped in the cyberworld and connections. That is the new area for crime and so our young lawyers need to understand it. As a society we need to work out how to deal with issues such as this because computers have made crime easy, involvement in crime easy and the obviousness of it less obvious and the accidental involvement a real possibility. It's no longer so clear cut because computers can have minds of their own sometimes and one click can create havoc. We need to keep a really clear head about all of this, that's for sure...because the real issue in my mind are those images of the children. Who made them?
