A BALLARAT man at the centre of a customs raid earlier this year had more than 900,000 items of child pornography in his possession, a court has been told.Customs officials searched Stacy Livitsanis' home on July 3 after discovering more than 40 pornographic DVDs addressed to the 30-year-old from the USA.They seized a laptop computer, three portable hard drives, and hundreds of DVDs, books and magazines from his house.Forensic examination of the computer equipment showed it contained more than 490,000 photos, videos and text files depicting child pornography.A further 440,000 explicit images and videos were identified in the other material seized.Livitsanis had also written a number of child pornography stories, which he saved on his computer in a folder titled "Lesbian Lolita".The stories were published on a website and available for public viewing from September 3, two months after his initial arrest.In a brief of evidence tendered to Ballarat Magistrates Court, Livitsanis admitted sending and receiving child pornography from overseas over a "period of time", as well as writing and uploading pornographic stories to the internet.He told Australian Federal Police members he continued to download stories from the internet - at times from a Ballarat internet cafe - after the customs raid, stating "it was just in a moment, like, sort of panic, sort of trying to get back to something familiar that had been taken".During an interview with customs officers, Livitsanis said he liked to watch the DVDs because "the girls appear to be having fun" and he found them "cute and pretty".He agreed that most people would consider the children in the footage to be engaged in sexual poses, but said he did not see it that way.Livitsanis yesterday pleaded guilty to eight child pornography-related charges, including importing child pornography, making child pornography and using a carriage or service to publish child pornography.He was remanded on bail to appear at the Melbourne County Court for a directions hearing on December 15.As part of his bail conditions, Livitsanis must not access the internet or visit internet cafes.
