A STUDENT who searched for and downloaded child sexual abuse material “of the most depraved nature” has been jailed for 16 months. Sentencing him, Judge Martin Nolan said accessing child abuse material “is obviously not a victimless crime”. He noted Turkistani regularly searched for “material of the most depraved nature”, which included babies being sexually abused. Ms Phelan urged Judge Nolan to consider handing down a suspended sentence. Judge Nolan noted Turkistani took many steps to procure the material, which he searched for specifically.
