Defence barrister James Sheridan said the offending was disturbing and abhorrent to any right-minded individual . He said his client was involved in a social media group, described as being altruistic in nature , whose members had sent him the material. He stupidly got caught up with this group that shared those videos in the hope the children can be identified, he said. Mr Sheridan argued for his client not to serve any jail time, saying his poor health conditions would be detrimental to the purpose of jail time. The barrister said his client should receive a lenient sentence because no encryption was involved, he did not request the material, and did not derive pleasure from the videos.
