QLD:Facebook troll seeks bail until appeal
A Brisbane man who's been jailed for plastering child pornography over Facebook tribute
sites to two dead schoolchildren .. is seeking bail pending an appeal.
BRADLEY PAUL HAMPSON wants the Supreme Court in Brisbane to let him out until the Court
of Appeal assesses what he claims is an excessive three-year sentence.
Last month a Brisbane District Court judge ordered HAMPSON to serve 12 months behind
bars after he pleaded guilty to distributing and possessing child exploitation material
.. and using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.
The 29-year-old posted offensive comments and pornographic images on social networking
pages honouring 12-year-old ELLIOT FLETCHER and eight-year-old TRINITY BATES.
ELLIOT died in February last year after being stabbed during a schoolyard fight.
TRINITY'S body was found in a drain near her Bundaberg home in the same month.
HAMPSON's bail hearing is listed for May 3.
