A CAIRNS man who had child porn material during a one-year period said it was part of his research about "family spirits" involved in sexual activities because the spirits were persecuting him, a court has heard.
Glen Jacob Walter Brown, 48, pleaded guilty in Cairns District Court on Friday to one count each of possessing child exploitation material and using a carriage service to access pornographic material.
The court heard that Brown had eight photos and 28 videos of young girls on his iPad and computer on three separate occasions during the 12 months to September 2017.
