The accused pleaded guilty to making child pornography available after uploading an image containing 30 thumbnails of child abuse to a public website.
A search of his residence revealed a moderate collection of child pornography.
The accused, a youthful first offender with a low risk of reoffending, sought a conditional sentence.
The court emphasized denunciation and general deterrence for offences involving the abuse of children, sentencing the accused to 10 months' incarceration followed by 18 months' probation and ancillary orders.
