A father who had sexual fantasies of young Asian women in school uniforms has been convicted of grooming someone, who be believed was a 14-year-old virgin girl, he had promised $1000 in exchange for sexual acts.
New Zealand native Jamie Mckeay, 33, told Campbelltown District Court he had wanted to ‘re-live’ his teenage sexual exploits when he posted an advertisement on online classified website Locanto in June last year.
The Cabramatta man posted “looking to reward an Asian girl for some fun. Reward will be $1000 but you must be in your teens” where he was soon messaged by the profile of a 14-year-old girl.
The girl was in actual fact police officers from Strike Force Trawler, who posed as a Thai girl called Kim.
Mckeay, despite being told of the girl’s age in the first message, responded immediately “what things are you willing to do” before asking a range of sexually explicit questions over Skype.
Across a 15-day period, the 33-year-old bragged about the size of his manhood, requested to ejaculate on the girl’s body and asked to meet during school hours.
When police, posing as the 14-year-old girl, asked if he could really pay her $1000 he sent a screenshot of his bank account.
On June 21 last year, Mckeay was arrested at his work and taken to Bankstown police station where he said the explicit nature of the messages was to “scare her off”.
The 33-year-old told Judge Richard Weinstein at the time of the explicit message exchange he was “depressed and lonely”.
His current partner, who the court heard remains supportive of Mckeay, was living in the Philippines.
A psychologist report tendered to the court stated Mckeay had said he was now glad he had been speaking to a police officer, and not a young girl.
He was convicted of using a carriage service to procure a person under 16 and sentenced to a jail term of two years and three months.
He will be released on September 20 on a recognisance order for one year.
The Cabramatta man was also convicted of possessing child pornography with seven pictures of a pre-pubescent girl in stages of undress found on his laptop harddrive.
