Father admits to writing ‘fantasy story’ about child molestation…

A man has admitted to writing an indecent “explicitly erotic fantasy story” about dozens of children, which he then accidentally sent to several friends.

The perpetrator, who is in his 50s and cannot be named for legal reasons, wrote the 205-page novel about child molestation in draft emails over the course of more than a year, sometimes while on shift.

He pleaded guilty on Thursday to creating child molestation material after the material, accidentally emailed to four colleagues in May, was reported to police.

As the man left the Australian Capital Territory District Court after being referred to a higher court for sentencing, his lone supporter showed the camera the finger.

Police documents previously released to the court reveal details of the disturbing texts, some of which the court heard in May referred to underage members of the man’s family.

The abuse material described the sexual harassment and persistent sexual abuse of 45 girls, the “heroines” of the story.

The documents show that the man personally tattooed the children, on whom he made tattoos of his initials and other things.

The agreed facts have not yet been presented to the court.

After his arrest, the man told police he had kept the story of the abuse on a secure work email and admitted he was a “central figure in the story.”

“I am guilty, Your Majesty,” he said after the charges were read by Judge Robert Cook.

The case is to be referred to the Supreme Court registrar next week to set a date for the verdict to be announced.
