Objectionable Material

New Zealand -- In Christchurch, a former teacher has appeared in court on a number of charges of distributing objectionable material, according to stuff.co.nz.

The 32-year-old former high school teacher and martial arts instructor -- who left New Zealand in 2004 -- first appeared in court in July.

The man is accused of providing objectionable photographs of young boys via the Internet.

Police officials said several thousand files had been found on the man's computer. They had estimated three-quarters of the files -- movies, photographs, websites and fictional stories -- were objectionable.

The man was reportedly convicted December 12 on a number of charges of "making an objectionable publication available to other people for gain". He will be sentenced in January 2009.
