WARNING: This story contains descriptions and language associated with child sex offending.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A man who tried to buy a child on the dark web to sexually abuse, under the username Kiwipedo, and possessed more than 400 objectionable images has been jailed.<\/p>\n

This morning, Aaron Hutton was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment by Judge Allan Roberts.<\/p>\n

Hutton pleaded guilty to two charges after the Crown had offered evidence in his Auckland District Court trial last year.<\/p>\n

The admitted lead charge was that between January 13, 2015, and February 20, 2015, he had attempted to enter into a deal involving a person under 18 for sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n

Hutton had in fact been speaking to undercover law enforcement and a meeting never eventuated.<\/p>\n

Investigators used a tracing tool to find the relevant computer in an Auckland workplace in mid-2015, where they executed a search warrant.<\/p>\n

Crown prosecutor Sam McMullan said after the guilty pleas were entered Hutton seemed to claim it was all some sort of joke.<\/p>\n

Hutton claimed he knew he was dealing with law enforcement in “a game of cat and mouse” but that was “not born out on the evidence”.<\/p>\n

Rather the defendant was simply trying to distance himself “from the very serious offending he committed”.<\/p>\n

McMullan said three aggravating features of the case was the premeditation, the vulnerability of the intended victim and the extent of offending he intended to commit.<\/p>\n

The Crown prosecutor said descriptions of the objection material made for “difficult reading”.<\/p>\n

Hutton pleaded guilty during the trial therefore he was simply not entitled to a discount, McMullan said.<\/p>\n

“The Crown’s case was looking pretty good at that point,” he said.<\/p>\n

Judge Roberts presided over for just over three days.<\/p>\n

“I was having difficulty identifying what possible defence you could advance,” the judge said.<\/p>\n

“You were entitled to take the matter to trial and you did.”<\/p>\n

The judge’s point he said was this: “The plea came at a very late stage.”<\/p>\n

Judge Roberts addressed Hutton’s claim that he aimed to waste police time and was never going to commit a crime.<\/p>\n

“I can only say all of these self-serving statements are nonsense.”<\/p>\n

The judge said Hutton intended to buy a child and literally detain her for the purposes of sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n

“Your intended victim was three. She was to become a sex slave.”<\/p>\n
