APPEARANCES:

Counsel Solicitors
For the Director of Public Prosecutions Ms L. Dinola Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions
For Accused  Mr I. Crisp

HIS HONOUR: 

1Daniel Frank Pisano, you have pleaded guilty to three charges of using a carriage service to transmit indecent communications to a child (7 years maximum), one charge of transmitting child pornography (15 years maximum), 16 charges of causing child abuse material to be transmitted to yourself (15 years maximum), 15 charges of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material (also 15 years maximum) and two charges of possessing child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service (15 years maximum).

2You have also pleaded guilty to a relevant summary offence being committing an indictable offence whilst on bail (maximum of 3 months or 30 penalty units).

3You have admitted your criminal record, which discloses a relevant prior conviction relating to possessing and making child pornography.

4The facts of the matter are set out in detail in the Summary of Prosecution Opening which was Exhibit A on the Plea and forms part of these reasons for sentence. I do not propose to revisit the detail of your offending in these reasons. It was protracted and deeply troubling. The course of conduct you engaged in posed a grave danger to the safety of children, and I am satisfied that the harm to children that is intrinsic to the activity you engaged in, was occasioned in relation to a number of victims.

5You were between 32 and 34 years of age at the time of the offending. You are now 34.

6On 11 February 2020, officers from the Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (‘JACET’) executed a search warrant at your premises at 26 Edara Circuit, Greendale.

7During the execution of the search warrant, you attempted to conceal a Samsung Note 10 Plus mobile phone. You were observed dropping a mobile phone between the back of a bedside table and the wall.

8You later made admissions that you had attempted to hide the phone because you knew you were in the wrong, that you had a problem, and that you understand that child abuse material is “very bad” and “illegal”.

9A number of items were seized including; children’s undergarments, including tights and underwear; a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus mobile phone in a black case; a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus mobile phone; Centre Com computer tower; and an external hard drive labelled ‘My Cloud Home’.

10You participated in a record of interview, and made the following admissions:

a)    Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus mobile phones belong to you, and only you had access to them.

b)    The mobile phones are password protected.

c)    You stored child abuse material on those phones within the Dropbox application.

d)    You admitted those images will include images of children naked, and images of “actual abuse”, which you clarified to mean intercourse with adults and other children.

e)    You said you have a tights fetish.

f)     You use a social media account in the name of ‘Jason’ purporting to be 16 years old, because that makes it easier to talk to boys and girls around that age.

g)    You admitted having asked for images and talking sexually on the phone.

h)    You said you created a social media account less than one week ago in the name of ‘Courtney’ who purports to be 15 years old and bisexual.

i)     You said you did not engage in any conversations using that account.

j)     You were part of a Kik group chat that sent Dropbox links. You knew those links contained child abuse material, and you saved them to your Dropbox.

11You were charged with possession of child abuse material (Charge 36) and released on bail.

12On 21 May 2020, officers from JACET conducted a second search on your premises. Another Samsung Note 10 Plus mobile phone was seized.

13You participated in a record of interview and admitted that there were pictures and videos of child pornography on your phone.

14You said you had spoken online to someone from Russia who was posing as an underage girl. You sent that individual $50AUD via Paysend, and the individual sent you a link to a website and you saved the images.

15You said that when you added the Russian individual, you thought they were a 12 or 13-year-old female.

16You bought a new phone after your previous phones were seized by police.  That is what you told police.

17You said that you restored that new phone from your last backup. This was the explanation you gave to police and to psychiatrist, Danny Sullivan, for your breach of bail. It is disputed by the prosecution. The evidence suggests that the child abuse material in relation to Charges 36 and 37 were possessed on separate cloud-based drives.

18I do not accept your explanation that the material the subject of Charge 37 arose due to you restoring previous data to a new phone.

19You were charged with possession of child abuse material (Charge 37) and you were also charged with committing an indictable offence whilst on bail (related summary offence) and remanded in custody.

20The seized devices were analysed and revealed the extensive catalogue of engagement, discussion and transmission of pornographic and child abuse material set out in paragraphs 13 to 36 of Exhibit A.

21In relation to Charges 36 and 37, you possessed thousands of images and videos. Due to the volume of data, a sample of 1000 child abuse image files and 50 child abuse video files were analysed and categorised. The results are set out in paragraph 37 of Exhibit A. For present purposes it suffices to say that the volume of files you possessed places your commission of the offences of possession of child abuse material in a very serious category.

22I note that a significant number of the files fall into Category 4 and 5 classification. Charge 37 represents fewer files than Charge 36, and there were no Category 5 files the subject of Charge 37.

Previous appearance

23On 16 September 2008 you were found guilty of the offences of knowingly possessing child pornography and make/produce child pornography. You were sentenced without conviction to a Community Based Order for 18 months and you were registered pursuant to the Sex Offenders Registration Act to report for eight years.

24On 30 May 2013 you were sentenced to a $2000 fine without conviction for failing to comply with reporting obligations.

Objective Circumstances and Gravity of Offending

25It is of grave concern that you offended in the manner in which you did, for such a period of time, despite the earlier intervention of the Court in 2008 for similar offending and despite being subject to sex offender registration for eight years.

26It is more concerning that you committed the offence the subject of Charge 37 whilst on bail for such serious offending.

27Your case raises the need for specific deterrence as well as appropriate concern for the protection of the community.

28As I have stated the sheer volume of the child abuse material possessed, in combination with the nature of it, places the conduct in a serious category.

29In relation to the offences of transmission of child abuse material, causing child abuse material to be transmitted to yourself, and indecent communications, a number of serious aspects are prominent:

·     The volume of communications and the period of time over which they were engaged in;

·     The apparent young age of those with whom you communicated;

·     You transmitted four images and 29 videos thus participating in the trafficking and proliferation of child abuse material;

·     You caused 32 images and nine videos to be transmitted which has a similar effect upon the market for this type of material;

·     The chat logs bear out that you were requesting images from individuals you believed to be children;

·     

For 24 of the charges you lied about your age posing as a 15-year-old,


16-year-old, 17-year-old and 20-year-old;

·     

On one occasion you deceived an individual by sharing an image of a


15-year-old purporting to be an image of yourself and in return received an image of the recipient’s penis;

·     A number of the charges relate to multiple transmissions of child abuse material or indecent images;

·     Amongst the conduct forming the transmission of indecent communications charges are your conversations with a 13 year old relating to her masturbating in the shower and you helping wash her, and you transmitting two images of your erect penis to a 15-year-old and 14-year-old respectively;

·     On all three counts relating to indecent communications you deceived the recipient as to your age posing as a 15 or 16-year-old. 

30It is clear from the chat logs that you actively sought out children or child abuse material.

31Actual children were abused in the child abuse material you sought, possessed and transmitted. I was not given an estimate of the number of children abused, traumatised, raped and terrorised in the production of the media you enjoyed and shared.

32Actual children were abused by you in the form of the explicit communications and transmissions you engaged in.

33In your favour – you made substantial admissions to your conduct. There are a number of matters personal to you that help explain to some degree your descent and immersion into this gravely criminal conduct.

34Despite aspects of personal mitigation – general deterrence is a very significant factor in your case.

35Offending involving child pornography occurs on an international level and is becoming increasingly prevalent on the internet. It is difficult to detect given the anonymity provided by the internet. The access and possession of child pornography material creates a market for the continued corruption and exploitation of children. You actively participated in this market. By extension you are part of this vile trade and exploitation of innocent, defenceless, children.

36The same principles apply to the communications you engaged in with children and those you believed may be children.

37There is a paramount public interest objective in promoting the protection of children.  The communications you engaged in harm children. The community must be protected from the predatory threat posed by individuals such as yourself. There is intrinsic harm associated with the sort of dialogue and transactions you have engaged in with minors or those purporting to be minors. It is often the case that young persons deceived or preyed upon by you or others who would engage in such conduct do not report it, thus it is hard to detect.

38The possession of child pornography is far from a victimless crime – children are sexually abused, in the most degrading and harmful ways, as you well know – in order to supply the market.

39Alongside general deterrence, denunciation is a significant sentencing consideration. The sentence I impose reflects the community’s denunciation of those who actively support the market in childhood misery, and the denunciation of those who seek out children online in order to lure them, by deception or otherwise, into satisfying the offender’s sexual fantasies.

40Your prior matter inhibits the degree of leniency available to you as well as informing my assessment of your prospects of rehabilitation and the need for specific deterrence.

Personal Circumstances

41You are the oldest of two boys from your parents’ marriage. I was told your parents are of Sicilian and Calabrian background. Your younger brother is 27 years of age.

42Your recollections of your childhood indicate that your father was frequently working and absent. Your parents argued frequently.

43A momentous event occurred when you were approximately 15 – your mother left the family home unexpectedly and soon after moved in with another man. Your mother had a child with her new partner, your half-sibling now being approximately 19 years of age.

44For many years you were angry at your mother and resented her leaving the family. Your mother unfortunately developed cancer and passed away in recent years. You were grief stricken understandably for many months and so deeply distressed that you were unable to work. You had done your best to make peace with your mother during her illness, and you have been heavily affected by her passing.

45The departure of your mother from the family home in your teenage years was a pivotal event for you in a number of ways. It prompted you to enter the workforce and become a significant contributor to your household in a financial sense as well as in the running of the household.

46You struggled to maintain attendance at school after your mother’s death, but you supported your brother attending school. Your secondary schooling was at Mount Waverley Secondary College which you attended from Years 7 to 10.

47You struggled with maths and science subjects at school but were good at graphics. You were not particularly interested in sports. You left school after Year 10 and completed hospitality courses at William Angliss College of TAFE.

48You entered the workforce at 16 although you had worked part time prior to that. You worked initially servicing vending machines then panel beating, but predominantly in restaurants and hotels. You worked long hours and most days per week in the hospitality industry. You progressed to managing several restaurants across the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

49A reference was provided from your recent and most significant employer who has been a good friend of yours as well as an employer. Clearly you have been a significant performer and asset in that business. Subsequent to the plea hearing that reference was withdrawn from my consideration at the request of your representatives, acting on the wishes of the author as I understand it.

50For several years you worked six days per week often working into the wee hours of the morning. You were enthusiastic about your work and enjoyed it. I was told that on your day off you would spend time with your family, have lunch with your father, for example, or go out for dinner, or play computer games and watch television.

51Your life has been one that is centred around the work environment and the long work hours you engaged in, and aside from that activity, a fairly solitary existence with most social contact being with family members. You told psychiatrist, Dr Danny Sullivan, that at school you tended to be quite lonely, you were shy and awkward and struggled to interact easily with others. In secondary school you had significant acne and you were embarrassed by this, which inhibited your social interactions particularly in relation to establishing sufficient contact and rapport in order to explore the possibility of intimacy.

52It is in the context of your social isolation and inhibition that your depraved online life and interest in child abuse material proliferated.

Psychiatric and Psychological Material

53I was provided with a report from Mr Bernard Healy, psychologist, dated 26 February 2020. Mr Healy highlighted your distress and bewilderment at your relapse into offending after more than eight years and that you experienced shame and guilt about the impact of your behaviours in fostering a child-abuse network and indeed the stress upon your own family.

54Mr Healy writes that you acknowledged being enmeshed in a process of developing an inappropriate, unacceptable sexual focus from which you derived some precarious reassurance for your quite weak self-image and self-esteem with clearly also an uncertain, shaky identity as an adult male. Little consideration or thought was given by you to the victims in these matters, where clearly children, even young adolescents were being exploited, as you became virtually obsessed with this viewing, in effect voyeurism, as a means of somehow building your own low self-esteem and lack of identity.

55Mr Healy assessed your intellectual capacity as well below average.

56I was also provided with a report from Dr Danny Sullivan, forensic psychiatrist, dated 26 August 2020. Dr Sullivan also gave evidence on your plea – evidence which was clear, balanced and helpful.

57Dr Sullivan noted the significance of the loss of your mother, in the context of your relationship with her leading up to her passing. He opined that you are prone to decompensation in the face of stressors and that you have struggled to develop skills and strategies to better manage your mood. These factors have led to depression and anxiety at different stages of your life.

58Dr Sullivan noted your long-standing social difficulties. He states “These were likely apparent in childhood and manifest in his self-consciousness, particularly when afflicted by severe acne. He has struggled to individuate from his parents and has not formed long-lasting intimate relationships. He has tended to focus on work, perhaps to the exclusion of external leisure activities.”

59Dr Sullivan also noted avoidant and dependent personality traits making particular reference to your close relationship with your former employer.

60At paragraph 61 Dr Sullivan writes, “there is some evidence of paraphilia, with  sexual interest in underage children albeit with expressed interest in teens rather than prepubertal children. Mr Pisano also acknowledges a clothing fetish which is apparent in purchasing items of clothing for sexual gratification, and a significant, but not sole, preoccupation with sexualised images of women and children in tights.”

61Dr Sullivan notes, “A persisting preoccupation with pornography, expanding to include child abuse material.” He writes, “As his pornography use has grown, he has engaged in online contact with others, seeking and sharing pornographic images including child abuse material. It appears that the child abuse material he has used has been for purposes of his own sexual arousal, but also has been sent to others as a non-financial transaction to induce participation in online sexual activity.”

62By way of explanation and motivation for some of the offending Dr Sullivan offers the following: “Mr Pisano has had a somewhat impoverished sexual life; and rather has relied on sexual interactions online and the use of pornography, with clear evidence of an interest in teens. I consider his offending reflects a degree of deviant sexual arousal (paraphilia) combined with social skills deficits and interpersonal difficulties which have impaired his capacity to form real relationships.”

63In relation to moral culpability generally Dr Sullivan writes, “There is not strong evidence that impaired mental functioning underpinned his offending, although his sexual preoccupations are likely to have disinhibited him and reduced his capacity to think clearly and make calm and rational choices about his pornography use. His judgement would have been skewed by his preoccupation, but there was no impairment of his capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of this conduct. He maintained cognitive distortions about the harmlessness of the activity, as he perceived it, and the likelihood that the other parties were, similar to him, adults misrepresenting their age and even gender.”

64Dr Sullivan considered that your impaired social skills and problematic personality traits will result in some difficulties in prison and I have taken that matter into account.

65He considered that your prosocial orientation and your work ethic indicate that you are likely to participate in the programs that will be required of you during your period of custody and that you have strong motivation to participate in work and rehabilitative programs. In this context he considered you have good rehabilitation prospects.

66Dr Sullivan opined that you would benefit from offence specific intervention geared toward sexual interest in children and maladaptive pornography use. A significant focus of this will be addressing deviant sexual arousal and impairment of social skills.

Defence submissions:

67Your Council, Mr Crisp, provided two written outlines of his submissions Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2. He expanded upon these matters by way of oral submission.

68Mr Crisp offered your low-level cognitive functioning and psychological problems, particularly in relation to social isolation, as factors leading to this offending. He noted that in your previous relevant finding of guilt where you received a community-based order the treatment offered pursuant to that order was extremely minimal consisting of two or three sessions.

69Mr Crisp emphasised your strong support from your father and other family members which I accept is a significant matter and it is a matter that is ongoing. He also emphasised your good work history with constant employment, working a minimum of six days per week and long hours. I accept these matters

70Mr Crisp also emphasised your cooperation upon arrest and referred me to a number of passages from both interviews; the record of interview on 11 February 2020 and the record of interview on 21 May 2020. I’ve read these passages and accept generally that you were cooperative, made some significant admissions, and from your base of limited capacity and insight, did your best to offer an explanation for your offending.

71Your plea of guilty was at an early opportunity. Mr Crisp submitted that there was always an indication there would be pleas from ‘day one.’ He emphasised the strong utilitarian value of your plea and I accept that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic pleas such as yours have a very significant utilitarian value.

72Your experience in custody has also been more burdensome due to the restrictions in place in response the pandemic than it would otherwise be. There is the fortnight in isolation by way of quarantine and of course there are no face-to-face visits. I was told that you have had almost daily telephone contact with family members.

73

I do accept evidence of remorse in your case. I also accept the submissions of


Mr Crisp that you present as amenable to treatment and that these matters were well supported by Dr Sullivan’s evidence.

74I also accept that you do have prospects of rehabilitation due to your strong work history in part – I was told you commenced part-time work as a 12-year-old and I am satisfied you have worked extraordinary long hours for a number of years. More significantly the evidence of Dr Sullivan gave me some confidence that you are amenable to treatment, you are motivated, and the treatment will be available.

75The factors that have led to your offending are many and varied, one of which of course is the paraphilia and sexual deviancy referred to by Dr Sullivan. To some extent in the context of your social limitations and your paraphilia you may have felt the lure of the activity you engaged in as irresistible – however, you knew it was wrong. You are an appropriate vehicle for general deterrence and general deterrence is a very significant feature of sentencing in a case such as yours, as is the need for denunciation as I have already stated. In your case there is also a need to protect children in the community.

76I have paid careful attention to totality in arriving at the individual sentences and in structuring the overall sentence.

77I sentence you as follows, due to the number of charges I have included a chart below. 

78In relation to Charge 1, being use of carriage to transmit indecent communications, you are sentenced to 18 months imprisonment commencing from today.  In relation to Charge 2, use of carriage service to transmit child pornography material, you are to be sentenced to two years imprisonment commencing from today.

79In relation to Charges 3,4, 5 and 6, which are two charges of using a carriage service to cause child abuse material to be transmitted to yourself, and two charges of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material, on each of those charges you are sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment.  The sentences in respect of those four charges are to commence six months from today's date.

80

On Charges 7 and 8, Charge 7 being use of a carriage to transmit indecent communication, as is Charge 8, on each of those charges you are sentenced to


18 months imprisonment to commence 12 months from today.  Charges 9 to 16, being charges variously of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse and using a carriage service to cause child abuse material to be transmitted to yourself, on each of those charges, 9 to 16, you are sentenced to be imprisoned for two and a half years, all of those sentencing commencing 18 months from today's date.

81Charge 17, using a carriage service to cause child abuse material to be transmitted to yourself, you are to be sentenced to two years and nine months imprisonment to commence 18 months from today's date.  On Charges 18, 19 and 20, on each of those charges you are sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment to commence 18 months from today.

82On Charges 21 and 22, on each of those charges you are sentenced to two years and nine months imprisonment on each to commence 18 months from today.  Charges 23 to 27, on each of Charges 23 to 27 you are sentenced to three years individually on each charge to commence three years from today's date.  On Charges 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33, on each of those charges you are sentenced to be imprisoned for two and a half years to commence three and a half years from today's date.

83On Charges 34 and 35, on each of those charges you are sentenced to three years imprisonment commencing three years from today's date. Charge 36, possess child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service, you are to be sentenced to four years imprisonment commencing three and a half years from today's date.

84On Charge 37, possess child abuse material, you are to be sentenced to three years and six months commencing four years and six months from today's date.  On the relevant summary offence, committing an indictable offence whilst on bail, you are sentenced to one-month imprisonment.

85On the Commonwealth matter I do not know that we talk in terms of total effective sentences but I will make it clear that the total effective sentence as I have structured it is eight years imprisonment and I set a non-parole period of four years and nine months before being eligible for parole.

86I declare that you have served 160 days of that sentence by way of pre-sentence detention.

87Pursuant to s 6AAA but for your pleas of guilty I would have sentenced you to a total effective sentence of 10 years with a non-parole period of seven years.

88Due to the number of Class 2 offences you have pleaded guilty to on this indictment you are a registrable offender required to report for life and I direct that this be entered into the record of the Court.  Are there any other orders sought?

89MS DINOLA:  No, Your Honour.

90HIS HONOUR:  No disposal orders or anything of that nature?

91MS DINOLA:  No, Your Honour, it has all been dealt with by consent.

92HIS HONOUR:  There was a table of those sentences prepared.  Did the parties receive those?

93MS DINOLA:  Yes, thank you.

94HIS HONOUR:  If there is nothing further I will adjourn the court.
