MP arrested on child porn charges
Updated 1 hour 13 minutes ago

South Australian police arrested the MP on Wednesday evening. (ABC News)
A South Australian Labor MP has been arrested and charged with child pornography offences.

The MP cannot be named but police arrested him at his home on Wednesday evening and took him to the city watch house.

Investigators spent some time inspecting a car parked in the driveway at the man's house.

They used plastic gloves to search the front and back seats as well as the boot and later emerged from the house carrying brown paper bags.

in sa names are with held till later Wink

he wil be in court next month. even with a suppression order I could pop in and see who it is - assuming I care. it is unlikely his name wil be suppressed there tho. it is just that typically SA police dont release names of people charged without a good reason. I just wonder if it is Foley. After all he has been in so much trouble lately it would be typical.

Not from ME you won't

Though I consider the subject more a matter of mental health and child welfare - rather than one of political divide

Interesting, related article ...

TREATING PAEDOPHILES BEFORE THEY OFFEND

Convicted child sex offender Dennis Ferguson has been the centre of public outrage in the last few months.

The outrage is both understandable and predictable, because when we talk paedophilia publicly, we seem to only have two gears - mass outrage or uncomfortable silence.

We all share in the revulsion when children are abused, and we all share in a common desire to ensure that children are safe.

There’s been a lot of public discussion about how to deal with paedophiles once they’ve been released from prison, but very little discussion about how to deal with paedophiles before they offend.

The clinical definition of a paedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children.

The reality is that not all people with paedophilic tendencies become child sex offenders.

Currently Germany has the world’s first government funded initiative aimed at the prevention of sex offences against minors, by working with men before they offend.

Here we speak to a young man who we’ll call JOHN, who has a clinical diagnosis of paedophilia, and is voluntarily in treatment because he does not wish to offend.

We’re also talk to a psychologist who specialises in the area of treating pre-offending paedophiles.

What you’re about to see may not be easy viewing, but because we all take protecting children seriously, we ask that you watch with an open mind.

the word 'suicidally' might be relevant. I read of one man who did this who was actually suicidal so nothing he did mattered to him. silly bugger. very sorry for him. but still a moron.

your opinion is worthless, cods. you are only looking for revenge and violence and you arent all that interested in the truly guilt being punished.
