An Anglican priest admitted in court to participating in online chats about his own child sex abuse fantasies.
Melbourne Anglican priest and former Sunshine vicar Phillip John Murphy, 53, pleaded guilty in the Victorian County Court to transmitting child pornography, 9 News reported.
Murphy would use a carriage service to engage in the online conversation about child sex abuse fantasies he had during chats he had with other men between 2016 and 2017.
It was during one of these conversations that Murphy confided in another man that he had a fantasy to abuse hundreds of children.
Some of them as young as two-years-old.
When the man replied ‘…having some fun with a six-year-old boy with a slight handicap’ Murphy replied said he wished he could join.
