An accountant in Sydney paid for sexual relations with a teenage girl and was sentenced to at least four years in prison.
Sydney accountant Murra (Rino Raymond Mura) was convicted in November of three counts of brothel and two counts of possession of child abuse materials, the Daily Mail reported. Murra, 58, was sentenced to six years and six months in prison, not four years on parole, according to (Parramatta District Court), a district court in Bharamata, Sydney, on Friday.
Judge Voss (Penelope Wass) said Murra had paid to have sex with two girls under the age of 17, and that hookers were as serious as pimps. If no one is willing to have sex with a child prostitute, this phenomenon will not exist.
Murra was reportedly arrested in 2012 after being robbed in a parking lot in West Sydney. Murra was embarrassed to admit that there was a 12-year-old or 13-year-old prostitute in his car before the robbery. When Murra realized the age of a child prostitute, Murra drove the girl out of the car, Mr. Murra defended.
Lawyers say Murra should be saved from prison because Murra`s decision to call the police prompted an investigation by the police that led to the destruction of a child`s porn criminal gang.
Murra, however, was convicted not for having been robbed of a prostitute, but for two other child prostitutes. Judge Voss said Murra did not mention other crimes of soliciting prostitutes when he called the police.
Murra claims that he thought all prostitutes who had sex with him were over 18 years old, and that they all showed a willingness to participate in sexual transaction. Voss retorts that willingness is not a mitigating factor, and that even if the victim does not object, there is still harm.
