He was on my Facebook as SuperDae Dan or something, probably a seperate Facebook account I followed him when he was promising to leak Durango stuff via a tweet but never posted any updates so I took him off.

Are you one of those who think they arrest [try to at least] peole for working for wikileaks, etc. and charge them for rape, cause they raped someone?

It's scary how toxic such an accusation can be, even if it were to be completely ad hominem and unfounded.
It's also scary to think how convenient it might be for interested parties to plant something and frame a person.

Yep. You can ruin a person, and once that's on your record (even if it was just Hentai), he'll be known as a child abuser for the remainder of his life.

As soon as I saw it said cold porn I thought "set up"
Probably some nerdy shuriken or something anime related.

Well, unfortunately, 4chan will probably cache some legitimately illegal things if you browse it enough. Mods are pretty good about banning it, but it gets posted a lot and the only way to completely avoid it is to not browse the site. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone who has ever been regular on that site could face those charges for their cache.
I also find it amusing how many people immediately think it must be a 4chan cache to bring those charges up in the first place. Actually, mixed feelings about that.
Let me get this straight, if you have a video/picture/drawing/whatever of someone that LOOKS under 16 (whether they actually are or not) that is depicted in an "offensive or demeaning way" (whatever that means) you get charged with possession of "child exploitation material" and they run the article with him possessing "child pornography"?
Nice.

I always thought australia would be the kind of place guns would be commonplace.
Nope. After a gun shooting in 1996 killed 35 people + wounded others, there was a crackdown on gun ownership. I think they many guns were bought back after that.
Completely agree with your first sentence. However, I don't think it's necessary for said parties to plant false evidence. From what I gather DaE was a self-proclaimed hacker. Pretty sure it would be easy for the police to find incriminating evidence under such circumstances.
lol, sounds like he's gonna be getting some ram installed when he gets his "firewall breached"... in prison!
...sorry
I'm confused though, what do the charges mean by an "indecent or obscene article" though? Is that like Polygon's Last of Us review or something? Seems a bit extreme...

No kidding lol
Ok so how do they handle a teen child pornography case?
he is basically a child his self , like should a 16 year old get in trouble for downloading the R Kelly sex tape when he pissed on the 14 year old girl?
but if it's 10 year old's & babies they need to send him off to get help.

I think so far people have been quoting Queensland, whereas this guy is from Perth right? That would place it as Western Australia which has some... fuzzy wording.
"in a way likely to offend a reasonable person" is one of those 'fun' phrases even before you get to the rest of it.

Not that I'm protecting the guy, but sometimes people in high places want to get middle-men with whatever they can. Just saying

Yes I'm sure law enforcement planted child porn on his computer. They do that all the time, it's so easy to do and there'd be no way to find out.

I know this video, its fucking adorable.
what?!! wow i didn't know this guy was 17.
Reads basically the same to me.
A lot of catch-all terms there.
EDIT: Oh he's 17? So he's a minor himself? How would that work?
I don't even know him so I have no reason to believe anything really, but is this true? If it is, that's really stupid...
They should've been more specific, I don't even know what "possessing and copying an indecent or obscene article" means.

I'm hesitant to believe these charges, especially with government's going balls out nuts on cyber security and shit. Hopefully he gets a fair trial.
edit - @the age discussion: that's true, didn't consider that. If he has pictures of his underage nude girlfriend it could be counted as possession of cp even though he's 17. Absolutely unacceptable if that's the case, this attack on teenage sexuality needs to stop; I had naked pictures of my 16 year old girlfriend when I was 15, disturbs me to think that my life and other young folk could have their lives ruined by a natural urge and desire.

I don't know if SuperDaE really had child porn, or if he's been framed or what. I just thought it was kinda funny how a GAFfer correctly guessed this "child porn" thing out of the blue back in February.
Looks like superDaE's tweets are now protected.
Damn!

Same in the US... in fact, if an underage girl sends you a picture UNSOLICITED and calls the police, they can arrest you for child pornography... even if you delete it (there would still be a record of it on your phone).
US CP laws are very strict, to the point of being unreasonable at times... There have been 10 year olds who've ended up on the sexual predator lists (essentially ending your life in a lot of ways) because of it.

He is wanted for questioning about a potential rape. They've gone to great lengths for questioning without ever having any formal charges, including things like putting him on interpol's wanted list and refusing to do the questioning over the phone/skype as Assange offered (he had already left the country when they decided to reopen the case as it had initially been dropped due to a lack of evidence).

Looks like hes not cooperating so they are playing for keeps. Throw enough at him something will stick...
Can't say I have much sympathy for this dude but I'll wait for the evidence/trial and clarification of what this stuff actually is before I pass judgment. Sometimes people forget how easily anyone can be charged with a crime, and there is some really stupid stuff that's categorized as child porn. I'll never understand the media obsession with ruining peoples lives/names before they're even brought to trial (not that this guy's name wasn't already by his own doing, but child porn is on its own level and deserves a fair trial before everyone starts acting like it's a matter of fact).

SuperDaE is just fucking 17?
He looked like a washed out 20 - 30 year old wannabe hipster in those pictures that came with the article Kotaku published of him.
