Police went to Kurt James Milner’s Leichhardt home on January 24, 2008 after receiving an anonymous tip-off about the disturbing material. Milner told police he would co-operate but did not want to give them his computer. But an hour-and-a-half later he phoned police and said they could now have his computer.
Officers discovered the computer would no longer turn on but a year later police forensic experts recovered 64 images of cartoon child exploitation material in the machine’s recycle bin. The images depicted figures from The Simpsons, The Powerpuff Girls and The Incredibles in sexually explicit positions.
Milner, a former security guard, told police he downloaded the images to show them to his friend “because he believed they were funny”. He pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child exploitation material and using a carriage service to access child exploitation material. Milner was sentenced to 12 months jail but it was wholly suspended for five years. A conviction was recorded.
