A former Narromine hardware store owner sent sickening voice messages on a gay sex chat line, detailing sexual activities when he was a child, a court has heard.
Alan Harry Treseder, 74, appeared in Dubbo District Court on Thursday last week, as he awaited his sentence after pleading guilty in the local court to use carriage service to make available child abuse material.
According to an agreed set of facts tendered to court, in November 2020, Victorian police identified and arrested a convicted child sex offender relating to his use of ‘Fastmeet’ and exchanging child abuse material with others.
As a result, Treseder was identified during this investigation and he was referred to NSW Police.
In October 2021, NSW Police established Strike Force Hank to investigate the activities of individuals, including Treseder, who had communicated with the convicted offender on the app.
Court documents revealed Treseder used his iPhone to record a total of three voicemail messages to the convicted offender.
“Nice yeah, I like them 16, 17, 18-year-olds, nice c**ks, hot arses, know what they want,” Treseder said on November 30, 2020.
“Sucked and f**ked with a nice 18 … 16 year old schoolboy for his first time.
Another voicemail was sent on the same day with Treseder asking further questions of the convicted offender.
Treseder then went into detail about sexual acts he performed as a teenager.
A couple of weeks later on December 12, Treseder called the ‘Fastmeet’ service again, leaving another message with the same story for the convicted offender.
“Yeah get back to me … like sucking and f**king young guys, 16, 17, 18 year olds.
Exactly a month later, Treseder was arrested at his property in Narromine, following the execution of a commonwealth search warrant.
He confirmed to police he was the owner of the device and all electronic items were seized, “none of which contained child abuse material”.
Treseder was taken to Dubbo Police Station.
In court, Judge Craig Smith was “a little bit uneasy” about sentencing Treseder without the 74-year-old completing a sentencing assessment report.
“Surely it would be desirable to have such a report,” Judge Smith said.
“I’m not being difficult but I am trying to ensure that the matter proceeds appropriately.”
Given the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecution (CDPP) was seeking for Treseder to be imprisoned, Judge Smith “had some concern about proceeding”.
He ultimately adjourned the matter to next year with Treseder’s barrister Michael Valentin and the CDPP’s John Song in agreement for sentence on March 15.
