A Queanbeyan man apologised to the police officers who had to look at the child abuse material on his phone after a Google upload alerted investigators to his illegal activity.
Jarn Seglenieks, 20, pleaded guilty in Queanbeyan Local Court last week to a charge of possessing child abuse material.
He is also accused of producing child abuse material, but his lawyer told the court the police officer in charge of the investigation had informed her this charge was laid in error.
