Any person who is in possession of child exploitation material (child pornography) knowing of its pornographic nature; or who intends to obtain, or makes a step towards obtaining, such exploitation material is guilty of an offence [s 63A(1) of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 (SA)].
Maximum penalty:
12 years imprisonment
It is a defence to this charge to prove that the material was unsolicited and that the person took reasonable steps to get rid of it as soon as they became aware of the material and its nature [s 63A(2)].
