Episode Details

A 60-year-old convicted child sex offender, Steven Andrew Larkins, faces serious charges in New South Wales for allegedly creating and selling books containing child abuse material via Amazon—moving just three to four copies. The judge questioned how such content slipped past Amazon’s safeguards, even suggesting the company might face criminal liability. Despite his violent past and the prosecution’s plea for no bail, Larkins was granted strict bail terms: weekly police check-ins, no contact with minors, a ban from publishing on Amazon, and limited phone use with police oversight. Authorities are still working to have the books removed from the platform, while Amazon awaits comment. Larkins returns to court next week.
