This is only what he’s been convicted off. Imagine the shit he’s seen and done in his lifetime. Sick
Frankly, I was shocked to learn of this lenient sentence for a person in a position of power over children. I think it does nothing to deter other potential offenders. If you also believe this case should be reviewed, I ask you to consider signing [this petition](https://c.org/WscJj6dTCK).
3 months!? How is that any kind of deterrent.
Why do pedos always seem to get busted at airports?
What a dirty kunt
While some people spend more for a much less troublesome crime like a tax dodge.
Not saying that a tax dodge deserves to walk. Just saying, if all you did was try to steal some money, you are definitely much less criminal than someone possessing CSAM. At least a tax dodge doesn’t hurt children or think about hurting children, and their crime can be restituted by recovering the money owed plus fines and interest. A victim child’s innocence is not coming back.
ETA: for those not getting the obvious point here, I am not saying a tax dodge should get less. I am saying a paedo should receive a far harsher punishment than someone who steals money.
3 months? Should be 3 lifetimes!
Damn thats next level fucked up especially him being a principal
I’m honestly not surprised.
Another blatant display of how our government protects and enables pedophiles.
The Woods royal commission along with many other instances sets precedent for a broken system to continue its despicable ways.
I’m glad their catching more these days

3 months. Paedophiles are basically rewarded for being paedophiles.
What makes us believe that he is guilty?
A ‘plea deal’ this lenient opens up the possibility that he is pleading guilty to something he didn’t do. Is he currently in prison awaiting trial? Did he plead to get out of prison?
i would be a bit more than disgusted, i would be flat out angry as hell, only 3 months jail, what a joke, it seems the law is not seeing this as a crime as serious as most of us do, this penalty is more what you would expect for shop lifting, security in Australia gets 6 months for assault, this is a joke
In the article he got 16 months but most of those have already been served it seems. So he’s been in prison waiting trial.

Why is this so frequent? A principal of a prestigious all boys school in Perth got done for the same thing years ago. Then he snagged a job at his wife’s school (she was the principal of another school)
Did you hear about this disgusting creature?
[..had 34000 images but all they did was take his phone away and leave him at his home under his parents supervision.. again. ](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-20/man-avoids-jail-for-possessing-bestiality-and-child-abuse-images/106369722)
Kinda ironic a dog gets put down for biting a child but pedos can roam free…
