Wealthy offender’s name suppressed in child sexual abuse material case

Crime news NZ

In a controversial ruling today, a judge granted permanent name suppression to a wealthy individual, their family, and an associated high-profile company following a conviction for possessing and importing 11,775 objectionable files, including child sexual abuse material.

The offending, which occurred between September 2023 and June 2024, involved hours of video recordings and files depicting toddlers being sexually abused, pre-pubescent children being bound and beaten, and one instance of bestiality. The material also included a disturbing image showing the torture of a child.

At sentencing, the judge set a starting point of five and a half years’ imprisonment but reduced the sentence by 56% due to factors such as the defendant’s “good character”, mental health issues, and remorse. The remorse discount included the defendant’s donations of $50,400 to two charities. Additionally, the court suppressed all evidence related to the defendant’s medical history and affidavit submissions.

The decision to grant permanent name suppression has sparked outrage among some observers, who argue that such measures should be reserved solely for protecting victims’ safety and wellbeing.

Critics have expressed frustration, with one stating, “Name suppression should be for victims, not because someone is rich. This is infuriating.” The case has raised questions about the influence of wealth and status in the justice system, as public demands grow for transparency regarding the identity of the convicted individual.

  1. Who ever it is, they are Jewish, they are the only people who can get away with this, 2 days ago a Israeli jew Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, Head of Israel’s Cyber Directorate, works out of Netinyahoo’s office was arrested in a child sex sting, he was releasedf and was back in Israel the next day.

  2. Can’t have the pedo’s name? How about the judge then. Since he/she is clearly looking out for one of their own, they can be publicly named as a pedo by proxy.

  3. Judge stating a pedophile is “good character “ well that explains why a lot of our judges are corrupted and victims are vilified, seriously this country is lost any moral compass it might have had.
    His name will be reported overseas soon, at least then the public can protect themselves from this predator.

    • The “Judge” should be fired. The offender is a coward like Hipkins, Ardern Robertson etc. To cowardice to be seen publicly for the crimes they have done to others.

  4. This is sickening. These judicial appointments are paid for by nothing short of NZD50,400.00 bribe to a charity. Is the charity aligned with victims of this crime?

    Where is the equity for the poor little kiddies who’s lives have been destroyed by this morally corrupt persons involvement to seeing them destroyed?

  5. That stinks.

    It is like our ‘system’ is not being sincere in punishing the obviously ‘privileged’ offender who had 11,775 files including children, being abused, raped and tortured. Some of them were toddlers! This isn’t porn between consenting adults. Where is this person’s moral compass?!

    When a line like this has been crossed, discounts should not be given for being wealthy or having a high social status.

  6. I ask the judge of this case, what part of indulging in such traumatic and sick behaviour involving our precious young children is linked to good character?
    Anything resembling good character would be a false front when the individual is supporting this level of child abuse

  7. Absolutely disgusting. Can’t this be appealed and justice be served? PEDOS don’t have “a good character” where did this judge go to law school? Sicko pedos like this will never be rehabilitated.

    Now i understand why there used to be lynichings and what all those medieval torture, beheadings and punishments were all about. Our tolerance for these mentally disturbed sick and twisted individuals has made them think they can get away with anything. And with utterly useless judges like this, it seems they do…..

    Bring back the old days and see that justice is served!

  8. Arguably the most serious aspect of this affair is the complete silence of the ‘legacy media’, with the exception of the NBR. By their reticence, they are complicit in the cover-up.
    The offender is reported to by age 46 There can’t be that many 46-year old executives.

  9. Please correct the typos:
    Arguably the most serious aspect of this affair is the complete silence of the ‘legacy media’, with the exception of the NBR. By their reticence, they are complicit in the cover-up.
    The offender is reported to be age 46. There can’t be that many 46-year old executives.

    • All other prominent people of the same age will be tarnished, why? Because THIS family paid some money to some people and all who are silent or seek to suppress justice or took money ARE COMPLICIT and have these children’s BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.

      Why is the mainstream media so quiet on this huh? Probably one of them…..

  10. NBR and TDT are the only news sources with this story. MSM is silent. We are so played by the gutter trash NZ media. Stuff, RNZ,ZB, Wellington post, NZ Herald are under someone’s finger. Inextricably linked. Who really does pull the strings? Rhetorical Q.

  11. Anyone who does these despicable evil crimes against the most precious deserves to by hung drawn and quartered. Absolutely disgusting that they are protected by the judiciary. Investigate the Fitzgerald royal inquiry in oz, the finding so evil they suppressed it for 90 years
