Pervert who sent child porn involving sex acts with animals to an undercover cop is jailed for nine months

• South Australian man Matthew Grant Kuchel jailed over child pornography clips
• Kuchel, 46, had sent four clips to an undercover police officer in June of 2019 
• The child abuse material showed acts of bestiality and masturbation 

A South Australian man has been jailed for nine months after sending child porn which included acts of bestiality to an undercover police officer. 

Matthew Grant Kuchel, 46, faced the District Court on August 28 charged with dissemination of child exploitation material, one aggravated, after sending four disturbing videos to the detective in June, 2019. 

One of the clips showed a boy under the age of six being sexually abused by a woman, two showed an adolescent girl engaged in acts of bestiality and the fourth showed an adolescent girl masturbating. 

Kuchel argued he had a 'propensity for hyposexuality' and only sent the videos to trade for adult pornography over messaging app Kik.

Judge Paul Cuthbertson accepted Kuchel's claim he had no interest in child porn but said his offending was still very serious, The Australian reported

'I think it probable that the offender does not have an interest in child sex or sex involving animals,' Judge Cuthbertson said. 

'Nevertheless, it is a serious offence to perpetuate the type of offending which must have occurred in order to make the videos by trading them within the community.

'It involves serious sexual offences against minors committed by the persons responsible for the videos and perpetuated by the offender.'

The judge said a history of drug abuse had likely impacted Kuchel's inhibitions.

'He struggles with significant drug use during his adult life. The use of drugs disinhibited him and in addition, there was a propensity for hyposexuality,' he said. 

Kuchel was sentenced to nine months jail, reduced to eight months and seven days to take into account time he has already served.
