The Supreme Court has upheld a decision not to fully suspend a prison sentence for a man convicted of child pornography offences. Brian Bennett, 53, pleaded guilty in Magistrates’ Court to two counts of accessing child pornography after he initially denied the allegations. He said the magistrate found that mitigating factors, including delays in the case progressing, provided good reason for some of the sentence to be suspended. “Offences involving the accessing or possessing of child abusive material or child pornography are such offences. “Therefore, it may behove those in Parliament to seriously consider upwardly adjusting the maximum sentences for the offences of possessing and accessing child abusive material or child pornography.”
