A 23-year-old Newcastle man was jailed on Friday (4 February 2022) for a maximum of one year and eight months after being convicted of multiple child abuse material offences.
The AFP’s Eastern Command Child Protection Operations Team arrested and charged the man in November 2020 at his home in the suburb of Charlestown.
The AFP investigation followed a referral from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the United States about an internet user, believed to be based in Australia, transmitting child abuse material over Kik.
