Only five years?

Stuff reports:

An Auckland man has been jailed for five years after he tried to buy a girl under the age of 7 for sexual exploitation.

Aaron Joseph Hutton hid behind the profile name ‘kiwipedo’ on the secretive Dark Web, where he dealt in child sexual abuse images and tried to buy a young girl.

He thought he was chatting to fellow paedophiles but unbeknownst to him, he was actually talking to agents for the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).

On Friday at the Auckland District Court, Judge Allan Roberts sentenced Hutton to five years imprisonment on a charge of attempting to deal in someone under the age of 18 for sexual exploitation and possessing 417 pieces of objectionable material.

He tried to buy a human being, a young toddler or girl so he could rape her time and time again.

I’m against the death penalty, but tempted go make an exception for him.

He described the notorious Austrian sex offender Josef Fritzl as his “hero”. Fritzl kept his own daughter as a sex slave for 24 years in a cellar in their garden and fathered seven children with her.

Sounds like he just needs some understanding and a cuddle.

Five years seems totally inadequate.
