Australian Federal Police today arrested a Victorian school teacher and charged him with two child pornography offences.
In a case unrelated to the weekend arrests in Victorian and NSW, John Newton Hewitt, 49, appeared briefly in a Melbourne court late this afternoon.
Prosecutor Krista Breckweg asked that investigators be granted a further six weeks to compile the brief of evidence because of the "considerable" amount of computer material that needed to be analysed.
Hewitt was ordered to report to police weekly, surrender his passport, not leave Australia and appear again in April.
He is charged with using a carriage service to access child pornography material on January 30 this year.
He is also charged with possessing child pornography material on December 17 this year.
Deputy chief magistrate Jelena Popovic allowed a defence application that Hewitt's reporting to police be suspended for two weeks from December 25 to allow him to travel interstate.
