Man Sentenced for Child Abuse, Online Sharing

0:00On this March 7th in Sydney, here's what is making headlines. A 29-year-old man from New South Wales has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for 26 child abuse charges. Kyle Davies pleaded guilty to offenses including 10 counts of child rape and 5 counts of indecently touching children under 10. The judge called the crimes depraved, cruel, and degrading. Davies appeared in court to be a video link from prison, keeping his head down as the charges were outlined. He had filmed some of the abuse and shared messages online seeking out more material. He even admitted his actions to a victim's parent before his arrest. In court, the judge highlighted the serious risk Davies poses to the community. While the total possible sentence topped 100 years, the 26-year term was set to avoid being overly harsh. Davies won't be eligible for parole until May 20, 1946. Australian Federal Police Investigators praised the tireless work that led to this outcome. They stressed their ongoing commitment to tracking down and prosecuting child abusers, no matter the boundaries.
