A man who coerced an underage girl to film “violent sex” videos for his own perverted “gratification” during an online relationship has been locked up for the vile offending.
Cody Bloxsome, 26, learnt his fate in the Sydney District Court on Wednesday, after a two-year-long online relationship with an underage girl, where he used various social media platforms to demand sexual content.
Judge Christoper O’Brien heard the Nowra man was on the NSW Child Protection Register for unrelated offences at the time he manipulated the minor.
The court heard Bloxsome’s “regular” communication with the girl he met online breached his reporting obligations under the child protection act as he failed to report his online accounts to officers and used them to interact with the victim.
During his judgement on Wednesday, Judge O’Brien read the agreed facts which detailed Bloxsome’s “emotionally manipulative” messages to the girl between 2021 and 2023, including his demands she filmed videos where she engaged in “violent sexual intercourse” with her then boyfriend who was also underage.
Messages sent by Bloxsome on various social media platforms were read to the court, like “I want it done in a quiet place so I can hear you and see you and hear you cry and watch you cry” and “the video needs to be done today”.
The court heard the victim’s mum found the messages on her daughter’s phone, before contacting Bloxsome to demand he cease contact.
Bloxsome claimed he “didn’t know” the girl’s age and that he “thought she was older”, before continuing messaging her with demands she keep specific content hidden so he did not get “caught by the police”.
The court heard Bloxsome was arrested in March, 2023, and charged with five counts of using a carriage service to solicit child abuse material, two counts of fail to comply with reporting obligations and using carriage service to transmit child abuse material to himself. He went on to plead guilty to these charges at Nowra Local Court.
Bloxsome’s sentencing arose two months after his victim provided a statement to the court in a sentence hearing involving defence barrister Ben Hart and Crown prosecutor Silas Morrison.
Bloxsome’s victim revealed how her online interactions had resulted in her struggling to trust anyone, before the perpetrator himself provided a letter to the court divulging his “genuine remorse” for his victim.
“I apologise for what I put them through,” the letter read.
“None of this is their fault and I take responsibility.”
When sentencing, Judge O’Brien spoke directly to Bloxsome, who appeared in prison greens via video link from the Parklea Correctional Centre, where he has been since March 3 last year.
“Offending of this type inevitably causes considerable harm to the victims and this case is no different,” he said.
“Nothing other than a sentence of full time imprisonment is appropriate.”
Bloxsome was ultimately convicted and sentenced to eight years and six months imprisonment, four years and two months without parole.
With time already served he will be eligible for parole in May, 2028.
