He got 3 months apparently but there aren't any other details yet.

Golly, 3 whole months. Good grief. Let me guess, he will be released at least 2 1/2 months early for 'good behavior' he didn't have time to exhibit.

I just shake my head. No mention of the children's lives affected. NONE. You'd think that their attorneys would nudge them and remind them to mention the children. But no, it's all about them.

I swear those little kids must have "come onto" Mr. Pettican and all his buddies. It's really all the children's fault for being so innocent and tempting, isn't it?

Ex-lecturer jailed for child porn offences

"....Jude Durr, [attorney] for Pettican, said his client had recently retired as a lecturer and his arrest and prosecution has caused him “the most acute personal and professional embarrassment”.

“This is in reality a very sad case. He has lost everything he has worked for all his life and most importantly his professional reputation and standing. He will never get them back,” said Mr Durr.

He said prior to these offences Pettican had no blemish to his name and in a number of areas had made a positive contribution to society...."

IMO, the positive contribution to society has been forever tarnished.
