Former deputy police commissioner Jevon McSkimming has been sentenced to nine months’ home detention after pleading guilty to possessing objectionable material, including child sexual exploitation and bestiality images.
Appearing in the Wellington District Court, McSkimming admitted three representative charges relating to thousands of images and searches conducted between 2020 and 2024, some using his work phone during office hours.
Judge Tim Black reduced a starting sentence of three years by half, citing McSkimming’s early guilty plea, remorse, rehabilitation efforts, prior good character and steps taken to prevent reoffending.
The judge declined to order his placement on the child sex offender register, assessing his risk to the community as low, and noted his senior policing role would make him vulnerable to serious harm in prison.
Prosecutors said the offending was not victimless and represented a profound breach of public trust, while defence counsel argued the behaviour stemmed from a pornography addiction and had already resulted in a devastating personal and professional downfall.
I should be surprised, I should be shocked but at this juncture, not even a little.
Going cold turkey on exploitation of children and animals seems to count for discount ! How sick. The corporation looks after their own.
They know he has little rehabilitative chance but they can’t lock him up in gen pop for obvious reasons.
The police members network he was sharing images with? Slap on the wrist. Sick stuff indeed.
That cordon of bootlicking coward pigs surrounding the waspnest-of-scum a few
years back can all sigh a breath of relief now knowing that the sleazy bootlicker scumbag
judges will only give even their slimy pedophile pig-bosses just slippery pissy-arsed home-detention
sentences for any or all filthy criminal acts that they’ve committed….
What a complete and utter nonsense. Home detention is a holiday.
Our laws are a frigging JOKE! UK they get jail and life sentences weak judges weak law system. Good luck NZ.
He needs to go to jail to get dealt with, as the community is so weak. Bad decision judges are corrupt as they probably do tje same thing.
So its one rule for a policeman and another rule for anyone else.
As I understand, A common man is ok to be bashed up in prison, a former policeman is protected from that.
Sentences are based upon privilege, not law.
Agree, it’s corruption at all levels.
However, I believe it’s more sinister than that. It’s a well know fact that the judiciary and the police are riddled with freemasons.
They look after each other. As the old saying goes ‘it’s a big club and we’re not in it.’ Thankfully I might add.
I feel sorry for whomevers home he is to be detentioned in. Imagine being his wife or child.
A disgrace of a sentence- and not even on the sex offenders register- an utter failure of the system from start to finish
He never looked concerned, he knew the sentence would light and we can only assume it is because he has dirt on other cops, judges and MPs. He was never going to get a lag, they are all corrupt.
EXACTLY!!!
The Old Boy Network via Freemasonry-styled silence is very apparent!

How manyvifbthese judges are kn kn it too? Thus is now the legal precedent for everyone.
Mcskimming gets to keep his police pension too. What punishment – NONE
While ordinary kiwis get 4 to 5 years jail for the same crime. What nonsense our justice system is.
