SINGAPORE - During a police raid at the home of a former senior bank executive, DVDs and other electronic devices containing 245 obscene films were seized.

Two other charges of possessing films without a valid certificate were taken into consideration by Senior District Judge Bala Reddy during sentencing. During the trial last year, the court had heard that Hartung distributed the information to four men without realising that they were undercover police officers.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Andre Ong said that the films also showed close-up images of the children's private parts. In urging the court to jail Hartung for at least 15 weeks, the DPP noted, among other things, the high degree of child sexual exploitation on at least 10 of the films and the"deeply depraved nature of the acts performed on the child victims".
