Child pornographer caught

Being caught writing fictional child pornography has cost former Wagga youth worker Jacob Bennie his planned career and several years of study as well as placing his year-old marriage under great strain, Wagga Local Court was told yesterday. "In his own words, his life has gone to hell in a handbasket," Bennie's legal representative, Chris Murnane, told magistrate Geoff Hiatt. [...] "It was all fictional, nothing took place," Mr Murnane said. "There was no exploitation of a living child."
