PHOTO: ROB KIDDA Dunedin man who amassed more than 9000 objectionable images claims he got no sexual gratification from them. Judge John Macdonald told the man in December he would impose an electronically monitored sentence, should an address be assessed as suitable. The court heard the defendant had been on bail for a year and working, sometimes near children, without issue. Given that, the judge opted not to place the man on the Child Sex Offender Register. Corrections confirmed schools situated near Turner’s community-detention address would be informed of his placement after sentencing.
