Trial hears arguments over whether ‘child-like’ sex doll constitutes child porn
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A sex doll at the centre of a trial in Newfoundland had some “breast budding” but is still “child-like,” a forensic psychiatrist testified Thursday.
Dr. Peter Collins said under cross-examination at provincial court in St. John’s that the height of the doll — about 120 cm or around four feet — depicts a child.
He says it also came with “little girl panties” from a website in Japan that advertised child-like and adult sex dolls.
Kenneth Harrisson of St. John’s, a 51-year-old electrician, has pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing child pornography and mailing obscene matter. He also faces two charges under the federal Customs Act of smuggling and possession of prohibited goods.
