NSW: Pedophile jailed for 18 years

A New South Wales man who systematically sexually abused a young girl and exchanged
photos of the acts with paedophiles around the world has been sentenced to 24 years jail.

44-year-old GLENN HITCHEN had sex with the girl 12 times over about three years and
forced her to pose in pornographic pictures.

Police found more than two thousand photos of the young girl .. along with 729 thousand
child porn images and 27 hundred videos in his home in 2007.

The Port Macquarie local pleaded guilty to six charges in the NSW District Court in
Sydney .. including using a carriage service to transmit child pornography and sexual
intercourse with a child under 10.

He received the maximum term for the offences today and will be eligible for parole in 2025.
