Lin Faces Charges for Possessing Child Abuse Materials

Lin was arrested after authorities discovered he had downloaded and possessed more than 8,000 explicit materials, including child sexual abuse images and videos. Lin regularly downloaded the materials in bulk every morning before work from groups on the messaging app Telegram. Upon returning home, he would sift through the downloaded materials and watch some of them on his computer.

In his defense, Lin’s lawyer, Mr. Albakri, argued that Lin had no specific interest in child pornography. Albakri explained that Lin’s growing collection of child sexual abuse material happened due to indiscriminately downloading explicit content. Lin stated that he never intended to accumulate such materials, and the habit simply snowballed over time.

However, the prosecution pointed out that nearly 40% of the explicit content Lin had in his possession consisted of child sexual abuse material. Court documents revealed that some of the victims depicted were as young as three to five months old. Additionally, the prosecution claimed that Lin knew some of the downloaded files contained child abuse material, but he failed to delete them.

Under current law, possessing or accessing child sexual abuse material is a serious crime, with offenders facing up to five years in prison, in addition to potential fines and corporal punishment.
