Background
From the Dominion Post November 2006
A builder has been jailed for downloading about 1600 "horrific" images of children as young as four being sexually abused. The man also used a camcorder to film a slide show of the child pornography from his computer screen on to a videotape and captured his own silhouette from the screen on film, helping investigators to identify him. Fraser John O'Reilly, 29, of Porirua, was sentenced to one year in jail in Wellington District Court last week after pleading guilty to one charge of possessing objectionable material. He was caught after an Internal Affairs Department sting on a child-sex abuse website. The site charged US$79 a month to access movies of pictures of young boys and girls being sexually abused.

Internal Affairs staff seized O'Reilly's computers in December. His computers had been cleaned, but experts found evidence of multiple downloads of images and movies, and references to other child porn sites. Internal Affairs censorship compliance manager Steve O'Brien said O'Reilly had downloaded a lot of "nasty, horrific" images of children ranging from four years to 13. Wellington District Court judge John Walker sentenced O'Reilly to one year in jail and ordered he forfeit his computer and have the hard drive destroyed. O'Reilly was declined leave to apply for home detention. Parliament introduced tough new laws last year for possessing and distributing child pornography. Mr O'Brien said most offenders were now going to prison.
