A Burnett man found with thousands of disturbing child abuse file has fronted court over an illegal Snapchat account just weeks after being sentenced for using other apps popular with children.
Robert Graham Milliken was given a two-year suspended jail in 2016 for possessing child exploitation material.
The now 38-year-old was declared a reportable offender, requiring him to report social media accounts to police.
During a compliance check in September, police discovered Milliken had an active Snapchat account which had not been reported.
Prosecutor Barry Stevens told the court the account had been active since 2015.
Sgt Stevens submitted for a jail term, noting Milliken had seven prior convictions for breaches and that the latest offence was “serious”.
A police raid in 2015 led to the initial charges when police uncovered a laptop, USB stick, two iPhones and an iPad with 4149 examples of child exploitation material.
The most serious video featured an adult man performing sexual acts on a nine-month-old baby boy, who was tied to a bench and urinated and defecated on.
In November this year, Milliken faced Kingaroy District Court where he pleaded guilty to breaching his suspended sentence for the initial offences.
Police discovered a PlayStation Live account, a Nintendo Switch Live account and a WhatsApp account, which he failed to disclose to police.
The operational period of his suspended sentence by three months.
Milliken’s lawyer Mandy Reid told the court her client intended to leave the region once his charge were finalised.
Magistrate Andrew Sinclair this week noted the 38-year-old had failed to declare the account, even when police charged him with breaches for his gaming accounts.
He was sentenced to three months in jail, which was suspended for 12 months.
He was also recommitted to the district court in relation to his suspended sentence.
