Barossa man charged with possessing child exploitation material, SA

It will be alleged that the children depicted in the material are under the age of 14 years, according to SA Police.

The accused was bailed and is expected to appear in the Tanunda Magistrates Court on 17 January.

THIS IS CHILD EXPLOITATION, NOT ‘CHILD PORNOGRAPHY’

Use of the phrase ‘child pornography’ actually benefits child sex abusers:

  • It indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser
  • It conjures up images of children posing in ‘provocative’ positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse

Every photograph captures an actual situation where a child has been abused. This is not pornography.

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in child exploitation material are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at http://crimestopperssa.com.au/
