Child Porn Guilty Pleas


FIVE men, including a primary school teacher, captured in a nationwide child pornography sweep, yesterday pleaded guilty to various charges in Perth's Magistrates Court.
More than 200 people across Australia have been arrested and more than 2000 charges laid following the child porn crackdown, codenamed Operation Auxin, conducted last month.
Alan John Vella, 24, a teacher at St Brigid's Primary School in Middle Swan, admitted two charges of selling or supplying child pornography and will be sentenced on November 19.
Also in court yesterday were Christopher James Burgess, 24, from Woodvale, Colin James Burns, 55, from Victoria Park, Clint Houghton- Smith, 38, from Como, and John Raymond Francis, 58, of Newman.
