Public Library Link to Child Porn Case
A man used computers at a Sunshine Coast public library to download thousands of pornographic images and movies of children aged four to 15.

Nicholas Charles Pinner, 34, was sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty yesterday to possessing child exploitation material he obtained from Maroochydore Library computers.

He will be eligible for parole after six months. Mr Pinner had 489 movies and 2104 images of children being assaulted by adults, which he accessed at the library and internet cafes to avoid detection by authorities.

Maroochydore District Court heard he would use text-based searches on peer-to-peer file sharing program Limewire to locate files, save them to a USB memory stick and then download the actual images and movies on his home computer.

Crown legal officer Patricia Stein said some files showed bondage of children being abused, children “in obvious pain” and acts with animals.

She said some movie files were edited to remove “non-eventful” parts and set to techno music.

“He sought material which had shock value,” she said.

“Accordingly, his actions (increase the) gravity of abuse of children to meet such desires.”

Police seized Mr Pinner’s computer after receiving a call from a repair shop.

After a search of Mr Pinner’s home, they also seized an external hard drive, USB memory stick, MP3 player and DVDs with child porn.

Mr Pinner told police he started off with adult pornography but moved to children when that “got a bit dull” and he wanted more “shocking” images.

The court heard Mr Pinner, a medium-built red-head who was gulping nervously throughout the sentence, had been diagnosed as a paedophile and had a cannabis dependency.

Judge John Robertson said the offending was “reasonably sophisticated” given Mr Pinner’s methods to avoid detection.

“In my view ... (these files are) certainly up there with the most serious,” he said.

Sunshine Coast central libraries team leader Ross Duncan said the library took immediate steps to ban Mr Pinner from the nine libraries.

He said the council was investigating what further steps could be taken to limit access to Limewire and other peer-to-peer sharing networks.

But Mr Duncan said the libraries, which do not have filtering software in line with the State Library of Queensland, aimed to bridge the digital divide and filtering was “hit and miss”.

“You can either filter by site names which is difficult because they change all the time or by content which is tricky because it limits access to appropriate content,” he said.

“The approach that libraries have traditionally taken, including the Sunshine Coast, is more of a passive monitoring of the people’s access.

“We place the computers in prominent well-lit locations and all together.”
