A 63-year-old Darwin man will face court today
after police allegedly seized
more than 11,000 pornographic images of children at his house.
The joint Northern Territory and Australian Federal
Police raid in Darwin on
Wednesday also uncovered 450 pornographic
movies depicting children, police
allege.
"During the search police seized a number of computer
hard drives, discs,
data storage devices, home made videos and
other computer related
equipment," a police spokeswoman said.
"Police are still examining the contents of the seized equipment, but to
date have located what is believed to be more than 11,000 pornographic
images and 450 pornographic movies depicting children."
The Darwin man has been charged with possessing child pornography,
distributing child pornography and is due to face Darwin Magistrates Court
this morning, she said.
"Further charges are expected to be laid as investigations by members of the
Sexual Crimes and Computer Crime Units continue," she added.
