Pair jailed for possessing child porn

7:06 pm on 7 April 2009

Two men have been jailed in separate cases of possessing child sex abuse images.

Department of Internal Affairs inspectors found evidence on the men's computers.

Simon Kendrick Carter, 53, of Wanganui, was jailed for two years.

Carter's conviction followed a complaint from Belgium in 2007 that a New Zealander had uploaded to a Belgian website a picture of a very young girl in a sexual act with an adult male.

Carter was also found to have downloaded material on a laptop while on home detention on a charge relating to grooming a 14-year-old girl.

Nicholas David Dalton, 26, of Christchurch, was jailed for 18 months on charges of possessing an objectionable publication.
