Child sex offenders nabbed after girl sets up Website August 1 2002 Four men have pleaded guilty to child sex offences after a 15-year-old Victorian schoolgirl set up a website with explicit photos of herself. The Melbourne Magistrates Court today was told the men, all in their 20s, allegedly met the girl in internet chatrooms from where she gave them links to her site which carried sexually explicit language and photos of herself. After viewing the site and reading the girl's text, the men arranged to have sex with her throughout 1999. The girl had initially set up the site with schoolfriends using another Internet website which allows people to build their own homepage. The four men all waived their right to a pre-trial committal hearing in court today and entered guilty pleas to charges of sexual penetration of a child aged between 10 and 16. advertisement One of the men, Geoffrey Townsend, 27, of Pakenham, also faces a separate charge of causing a child to take part in prostitution after he paid the girl for sex. In some of the schoolgirl's chatroom meetings, it was allegedly suggested that she could make money from the Internet liaisons. Troy Hill, 26, of Boronia, pleaded guilty to 17 counts of sexual penetration of a child and one count of making child pornography. Rick Gryzb, 24, of Bentleigh, and Aaron Hirt, 28, of Cranbourne, each pleaded guilty to three child sex charges. Police were tipped off by welfare workers who had been contacted by teachers when word of the website spread. Police subsequently closed the site. The four men will face a plea hearing in the County Court on October 15.
