Craig Silvey, one of Australia's most celebrated authors, has been jailed for 7 months for possessing and distributing child porn. >Using the name "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy", Silvey, the father of three young children, shared his sexual fantasies and fetishes.>He liked children aged "five plus", he messaged, and eight was the "perfect age".>And he shared a series of explicit images and videos of adults sexually abusing prepubescent children.>But the fellow user was fictitious, most likely an undercover police officer, and when police raided Silvey's Fremantle home in January this year they found one such chat open on his laptop.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-11-03/craig-silvey-literary-darling-child-exploitation-offender/107338130>In the chat, Silvey described himself as a “Fremantle guy” before telling the user: “You sound amazing … we have very similar interests, would love to chat more; do you have Signal or Session?”>The pair moved to an encrypted messaging app, where he said he was “extremely open-minded and obsessed with taboos” and preferred boys older than five before adding that “eight was the perfect age”.>“I want to make out with little ones,” the author said in one message.https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/nov/02/australian-author-craig-silvey-jailed-child-exploitation-material-ntwnfb
He's very lucky that he's Australian and not American. In the US, sentences for child porn offences are WAY longer. It's not uncommon for people to be sentenced to upwards of 20-30 years for image based offences. The absurd thing is that actual child molesters are often given much lighter sentences. Americans who look at pictures of child porn but never touch a child routinely face harsher punishment than people who actually abuse children.
