SA MP to face child pornography trial South Australian MP Bernard Finnigan is to face a trial on a charge of obtaining child pornography, but a magistrate has thrown out five other allegations. The 40-year-old independent upper house MP was accused of five aggravated counts of taking steps to obtain child pornography and one aggravated count of obtaining child pornography. It was alleged the offences occurred at his home in the Adelaide suburb of Sefton Park between August 2010 and April 2011. In January, the full court of the Supreme Court set aside an order by magistrate Simon Smart that the former ALP member face a District Court trial on the charges. The three judges ordered the case be sent back to the magistrates court to be dealt with. The issues included the interpretation of the law relating to the age of the child in the image. Magistrate Smart found on Monday there was no case to answer on the five charges relating to taking steps to obtain child pornography. But he ordered Finnigan to stand trial in the District Court on the charge of obtaining child pornography. He will be arraigned in June.
