A man has been sent to jail for possessing fictional text

a man has been sent to jail for possessing fictional text stories about sex with c..hi.ld.ren.
Former senior public servant Nick Gill was sentenced to 14 days' jail, suspended on the rising of the court, and fined $3000 after being found guilty of having 66 stories, featuring mostly young k..id.s, on his desktop computer.
There were no images involved in the case.
Magistrate Daynor Trigg said he believed it was the first case of its kind.
"I'm not aware of any similar case to come before the courts in my time," he said.
"The majority (of other cases) do involve images."
Gill, the former director of the Health and Community Services Department's alcohol and other drugs unit, had admitted having an interest in pornography featuring sado-masochism and humiliation.
But he told the court he found c.h.il.d pornography "abhorrent".
The 57-year old said he allowed the stories to stay on his computer because he did not know text files, like images, could be i.l.le.g.al.
Mr Trigg rejected Gill's evidence but agreed it was at the lower end of the scale."
"It should be obvious to any person that material like this is legally and morally wrong and t.a.o.o in the Northern Territory and Australia generally," the magistrate said.
Mr Trigg said the danger of the stories was they "create the perception that this might be acceptable."
"There is also the potential that the written word may encourage someone to act out what they've read," he said.

Yeah, look at what they did with those biblical texts.

Sorry MM,

but i think the Goverment calls this Prevention!
Just a Mind Game ... maybe this man had in his mind abnormal ideas and wrote it in stories like above described.
What would happen if he make his ideas come true?
I know this is a point we can discuss forever, but maybe some K.i.d-s were saved from a horrible experience!
