Hardcore porn bust - 20,000 DVDs

Posted by: Zara Dawtrey, The Examiner | 8 July, 2010 - 10:41 AM

Detectives have netted what is believed to be the biggest haul of illegal hardcore pornography in Tasmanian history.

Acting on information provided by a police informant, Launceston detectives yesterday executed a search warrant on a Hadspen property believed to have been a centre for the illegal distribution of X-rated pornography.

Police will allege that search uncovered 15,000 to 20,000 X-rated DVDs.

Police had to hire a truck to take the collection to Launceston Police Headquarters.

Detective Constable Sarah Campbell said police would allege a Hadspen man, 30, was in the process of setting up a ``shop'' in the garage of his home, aiming to sell the X-rated DVDs to the public.

"Material such as this is subject to significant regulations _ and it is obviously highly inappropriate for DVDs of this nature to be sold out of someone's garage,'' Detective Constable Campbell said.

The suspect is helping police with their inquiries.

Watching porn is illegal in Tasmania?

Jane Thursday 8 July, 2010 - 6:04 PM
Obviously Julie doesn't have a sense of humour~! Btw Jules, 85% of retail porn sold is Australia is actually puchased by WOMEN~! It would be similar numbers for X rated DVD hire.

Lenny Thursday 8 July, 2010 - 11:51 AM
X-rated porn should be legal - that way it can be properly monitored, taxed, kept out of reach of children and no black market would exist. No brainer really.

Jason Thursday 8 July, 2010 - 11:24 AM
LOL...julie, did you look at who wrote that comment? Durrrrr!

You're cancelling your trip to Tasmania because some guy was selling porn from his garage? Idiotic statement of the year, grow up!
