Maximum sentence for his offending is ten years. If he is given a sentence of one year or more, I would say a ticket on Peter Dutton's Flight 501 'flying trashcan' from Australia looks inevitable.

If we get the unvenerable gent back, hopefully he will spread some conscience money around, perhaps into children's causes.
Seems like he may not be deported. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/why-ro...YTWAX3QKB4MWU/
Well .. the 83 Y/o must have been a dab hand on the electronic devices .. that's for sure.. ;)
but for sizeable collection suggested .. who planted it ? or put it on there ? ;)
If and if the entire real story has even come out .. at all .. ;)
Did the hired help have a major hand in this ? ;)
Most of a similar or younger vintage probably wouldn't know how to even switch a device on .. ;)
Now possession is one thing even if someone else put it there .. not even knowing probably
it's there even sees legal eagles throwing their hands up & spouting "guilty is easier"
when caught 'in possession'
Wonder if Old Ron still has most of his marbles or knows what's going on ? .. many at that age
possibly don't or would have already spent a year or two or far more in their rockers
contemplating the world passing before them .. ;)
You raise a good point. I wonder how someone can amass such a quantity of material without external assistance. I'm not defending the man, but I wonder if he was part of a file sharing group but his equipment was not secure and was used by others for storing and / or transferring additional material of which he was not aware. Even the process of transferring files between devices can leave footprints. I imagine such as scenario is possible, but it is still inexcusable nonetheless.
