Judge condemns 'repulsive' material, says author contributed to harm of children
Disgraced Australian author Craig Silvey was sentenced to seven months jail on Monday, with a Perth judge describing the material he possessed and communications about it as 'repulsive' and saying he had betrayed the trust of thousands of people. The court heard details of his online chats, including his stated preference for children aged 'five plus' and his admission that he loved incestuous child pornography.
