Depraved panelbeater caught by FBI obtaining child pornography A SOUTH-EAST man intercepted by the FBI taking part in an international child pornography racket must serve eight months in prison. Gary Michael Johnstone, 54, admitted to encouraging an overseas mother to allow her young daughter to be filmed having sex as well as possessing child pornography rated among the worst of its kind. In 2010, Australian Federal Police raided Johnstone's home at Allendale East, near Mt Gambier. They uncovered videos, pictures and chatlogs in which he had online discussions with a user claiming to be an 11-year-old girl. The court has previously heard the Federal Police were tipped off to Johnstone's activities by the FBI. District Court judge Paul Cuthbertson told Johnstone the "depths of your depravity" were shown in an email sent to a woman in Europe who had a young daughter Johnstone wanted to see have sex. Johnstone, who the court heard had never been in an adult relationship with a woman, told the mother she was "an amazing lady" to consider allowing her daughter to be filmed having sex. Judge Cuthbertson said he took into account Johnstone's personal circumstances including early-stage Multiple Sclerosis but said the panelbeater's "direct exhortation" of sexual activity meant a prison term could not be suspended. Johnstone was given a head sentence of two years in prison but will be released after eight months, when he will enter into a 15-month good behaviour bond.
