A 41 year-old man from Tumbi Umbi has been charged over a range of child pornography offences. Police executing a search warrant found over 500,000 alleged sexually explicit images and videos of children.

As long as deviants are out there, the “sexploitation” of children will tragically continue, no matter what government regulations permit or how they are changed.

Why? Because criminals don’t follow the law, and clearly don’t expect to get caught, so it’s always a relief when our hardworking police authorities manage to catch alleged child porn criminals, charge them and take them to court for judgement.

The New South Wales (NSW) Police (in Australia) have announced that a 41 year-old man from the NSW town of Tumbi Umbi is “due to face court next month following the seizure of computer equipment which allegedly contained hundreds of thousands of sexually exploitative images of children.”

The NSW State Crime Command issued – and executed – a search warrant at a home in Tumbi Umbi in January this year and seized computer equipment.

During a forensic examination of the equipment, detectives will allege they located more than 500,000 sexually explicit images and videos of children – a truly shocking amount of disgusting and depraved digital media, whether the allegations prove correct, or not. 

State Crime Command detectives arrested the 41 year-old man at his Tumbi Umbi home at about 9am yesterday (10th April, 2008) following ongoing inquiries.

The man was taken to The Entrance Police Station (on the Central Coast of NSW) where he was “questioned and subsequently charged with four counts of ‘produce child pornography’ and five counts of ‘possess child pornography’.”

The man was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear in Wyong Local Court on Wednesday 7 May.
