Background
From TV3 story here
A tipoff from German police has resulted in the jailing of a Lower Hutt man for two years and four months for possessing pictures and movies of children being sexually abused. Dean Cooper, 40, unemployed of Fairfield, was sentenced in Lower Hutt District Court today after pleading guilty to 16 representative charges of possessing objectionable publications. It was his second conviction on such offences.

Cooper was caught by Internal Affairs censorship inspectors in 1999 trading child sexual abuses images on the Internet, fined $5000 and his computer was forfeited. Internal Affairs deputy secretary Keith Manch said Cooper, a former president of the Hutt Valley Rocketry Club, operated on the Internet as Rocketguy and records showed he visited a forum named Babyboys.

His laptop and hard drives revealed that since at least 2003 he had downloaded pictures of young boys being sexually abused. There were also movies of young girls being sexually abused. "This is the second time in a week that the courts have jailed an offender for possessing child sex abuse pictures," Mr Manch said. "Last week a Hamilton man was sent to prison for two years on possession charges."
