First let me apologise for such a long post, but the question was 'What in the hell has happened to this world?'
The following is the condensed decision handed down by a female Supreme Court judge. It's lengthy but worth reading. Remember this is the same Australian Supreme Court that wanted to convict a 16 year old girl who took a nude selfie and sent it to her 17 year old boyfriend, with producing and distributing child pornography.
Dickson pleaded guilty to three counts of distributing child abuse material and one count of possessing child abuse material. The maximum penalty for each of these offences is imprisonment for 5 years.
In October 2013, he met Aisling Dykes through work exchanged phone numbers. He sent her a text and then they exchanged a number of messages. He began phoning her frequently. One morning, she had 15 ‘missed call’. She sent him a text saying she was not interested, but over the next six days he sent her 32 messages including a request to meet for dinner.
On 9 November 2013, Ms Dykes sent him a message which read, ‘you’re annoying me now. I’m not texting you again.’ He responded with a message which read, ‘that’s okay, I won’t annoy you again’ but about ten minutes later, sent her a message which read, ‘so, how were the races in Melbourne?’ She did not respond he sent her a video.
The video was six minutes and 38 seconds long and depicted the sexual assault, including sexual penetration of a female child estimated to be approximately 18 months to two years old, by an adult male. Ms Dykes opened the video file and watched about ten seconds of it before she turned it off. Then she reported the matter to police. Police captured the complete history of messages between him and Ms Dykes including the movie file that he sent her.
The movie he sent was categorised as category 4 child abuse material in accordance with the Oliver scale. That is the second worst level of child abuse material involving penetrative sexual activity of a child by an adult. Category 5 is the highest and it adds torture.
His sentence of imprisonment was 1 year and 10 months, which was immediately suspended, taking into account the 145 days he had already served and taking into account that it was served on remand in conditions that are less favourable than those for sentenced prisoners.
Let me be the courtroom judge....
1. pluck out his eye's
2.cut off his hand's
3.cut off his wee-wee
4.take him out and put him in a big forest in the middle of nowhere and set him free.
oh...not to be too mean to him ,tell him the highway is 30 miles that way and point.
(but with no eyes how can he see) he will figure it out,after all nobody said life was perfect.
