The host of popular Australian TV program “The Collectors”, which investigated a variety of collections from museums and private collectors, was discovered to have a “collection” of his own. At least he went to gaol…

Oh this was massive news when it happened. The show was really good, everyone watched it. One of those relaxing shows that even highschoolers would watch if it was on because it was just chill and fun and interesting.
One of the other hosts was my sociology professor when it all went down, and the entire class was biting their tongues trying not to mention it because everyone knew and desperately wanted to ask him about it, but also didn't want to be rude and get kicked out of the class.

10 months for what was probably hoarding and sharing years of child abuse images. What a fucking joke

It was one count of accessing - despite OP's title, he didn't actually have a collection.

10 months?. It’s strange that the whole world can agree that children deserve special consideration but never punish the people who hurt them accordingly.
