Man jailed for Facebook porn offences

A Hobart man who used a fake Facebook account to pretend he was a promiscuous schoolgirl and share child pornography has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Jabin Christy Edmond, 32, pleaded guilty to 28 child pornography charges relating to offending between early 2010 and early 2012.

The Supreme Court in Hobart heard Edmond had more than 800 child pornography images on his computer and four videos that he shared with others online.

The court heard a 13-year-old girl who met Edmond online is seeing a specialist psychologist to deal with mental trauma.

Edmond was given a non-parole period of 21 months.
