Background
From the Southland Times 13th August 2008
CHILD pornography distributed and held by an Invercargill man was described as depraved and at the extreme edge in the Invercargill District Court yesterday.

Graeme Leo Jackson, 52, appeared for sentence on six charges of distributing objectionable material and two charges of possessing objectionable material when he appeared before Judge Kevin Phillips.

The offences occurred between March 23 and May 24, 2006. Adopting a starting point of five years' jail, Judge Phillips credited Jackson 20 months for his guilty pleas before sentencing him to a total of three years and 10 months' jail.

On the possession charges he was sentenced to 10 months' jail, to be served concurrently. Police investigations revealed more than 4000 images on two computers and several compact discs. The images included pictures and video footage of child pornography, bestiality and child abuse, she said. Included in the images were pictures of children as young as 2 and 3 years old.

Jackson had sent about 350 images to other people, and had also entered internet chat sites, posing as a 12-year-old girl. Defence lawyer Hugo Young said Jackson deserved credit for his early guilty pleas and asked that he be considered for a sentence of home detention. Judge Phillips told Jackson the pornography was "depraved and at the extreme end of pornography" . "They (the images) were graphic and disturbing," he said.

"This offending offends against our community of Invercargill and offends against our community at large in many ways." The damage to the children used in the images, wherever they were in the world, was immeasureable, Judge Phillips said.
