The Canberra Times has the grim tale of Augusto Ricardo Tamayo-Del Solar, formerly a lecturer at the University of Canberra, now found guilty of “committing an act of indecency on a child” on top of pleading guilty to “procuring a child for sex, two counts of committing acts of indecency, using a child to produce pornography and possession of child pornography”.
Tamayo-Del Solar was caught up in a police sting after allegedly grooming an 11-year-old for sex over the internet.
A federal agent, posing as the girl, took up the conversation and sent messages to the defendant about her end-of-year party.
In December 2009 they arranged to meet outside the Florey shops, where Tamayo-Del Solar was arrested in possession of a pizza, Coke, a bottle of sparkling wine and condoms.

“Hi, I’m Chris Hanson. I have the transcripts of your Intetnet chat. It says here you were using the name LovesToSpooge1947. Did you really think that Lol16SkaterGurl wanted to meet you for sex?”
This has done little to alter my belief that university lecturers are a creepy breed of humans.
I hope he’s the bell of the ball in prison, but then again he is 61, so I suggest a Fecking flogging,

I’m hoping that since its a Federal Agency investigation it might end up with a decent sentence. They’ll want to see a decent return for the investment I’m sure.
What a disgusting scumbag. Just kill them, there is no rehabilitation for these kinds of people.
Sadly in the three years he’s been in remand he’s been unable to access counselling services, despite the crimes already plead guilty to.
Oh he had access to counselling, even in a human rights compliant prison, fellow inmates know how to counsel rockspiders.
I read the judgement. The intentions hidden behind his nauseating emails to that little girl are obvious.
I believe that it’s the duty of men to nurture children and protect them from harm if necessary. For a man to deliberately seek to harm a child for his own sexual gratification like this is so far from how things should be that I can best describe it as a crime against nature. Horrible horrible stuff.
Given that’s he’s 61, I suspect that this isn’t the first time he’s done this, just the first time h’e been caught. I wonder who else out there has been harmed by him?
Should have had flowers to go with the Chateau Legopener. What a creep.
” … a pizza, Coke, a bottle of sparkling wine and condoms.”
No lollipop?

In the A.C.T.?- maybe if he was responsible for the torture deaths of at least a dozen innocents..He will likely get a good behaviour bond (read: whipped with lettuce leaf)..
He’s got to be good for at least six months weekend detention for that.
The article also an intriguing link to Sailors.
