    A 25-year-old Warkworth man's admitted to circulating more than a thousand images of child sexual abuse online


    Almost eight thousand objectionable files were found on devices belonging to Regan Highfield - seized in a May 2024 search.

    An international law enforcement agency had alerted the Department of Internal Affairs he'd been sharing links containing exploitative material, through an online chat.

    Highfield pleaded guilty to 21 charges at the North Shore District Court yesterday.

    He's been sentenced to 12 months home detention and will be registered as a child sex offender.
