News (9-12-2011)- "Molester filmed girl- sex acts"- A LAUNCESTON man filmed himself sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl at a church group and emailed it overseas to child pornographers, the Supreme Court in Launceston heard yesterday. Christopher John Wright, 31, of Granville St pleaded guilty to three counts of indecent assault and three counts of committing indecent acts with a person under 17 years old in February and April last year. He also pleaded guilty to a total of 10 counts of accessing, producing and possession of child exploitation material. Wright admitted to police that he was sexually aroused by the girl and by children. Crown prosecutor John Ransom said other parishioners were in the next room when the assaults took place. He filmed the act on his iPhone and emailed it to two friends. Commonwealth prosecutor Ian Arendt said Wright had come to the attention of the FBI in the US who contacted the Australian Federal Police. When AFP searched the home he shared with his parents they found 2543 images and 206 videos involving children. There were 16 images and seven videos, classed at level 5, the highest level. Wright sat in the dock staring at the floor when a sample of the images and videos were shown to Chief Justice Ewan Crawford. Mr Arendt told the court Wright had been looking at child pornography for at least 10 years. "He was actively sharing, trading and exchanging child pornography from 36 email addresses with people in many countries including the UK, France and Germany," he said. Defence counsel Adrian Hall said that the indecent acts were of short duration and his guilty plea had saved the girl from giving evidence in court. "He has been shunned by the church," he said. Wright had been molested at the age of six but no charges arose. Mr Hall said Wright had been seeing a psychiatrist because he thought his accessing of pornography was getting out of control. Justice Crawford remanded Wright in custody for sentence on December 21. http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/12/09/283151_most-popular-stories.html
