Cop loses appeal over child porn sentence
AN Australian Federal Police officer who accessed child pornography has lost an appeal against his jail sentence.
Gregory Paul Edwards was ordered to serve two months of a 15-month jail term after pleading guilty in the Brisbane District Court last year to using a carriage service to access child pornography over a four-month period.
He argued in the Court of Appeal in November that this sentence was excessive as most of the images were graphic representations or cartoons of children, however the court today rejected his appeal.
