The victim was groomed, threatened and made to watch child porn.

Hainsworth was first jailed for 13 months in 2009 after he was caught with child porn on his computer upon his arrival at Perth Airport in 2008, WA today reported.

In 2016, police discovered Hainsworth had taken pornographic images of the Filipino girl on his hard drive when they raided his Midland home, in Perth's north-east.

Some of the pornographic images were of the Filipino girl on her eighth birthday, which included photos of her with a birthday cake.

Hainsworth initially denied the crimes after he was questioned by police.

He eventually pleaded guilty to seven offences, including attempting to have sexual intercourse with a child under 16 while overseas as an Australian citizen and for committing indecent acts with a child under 16 while overseas.

The woman still feels the effects of the abuse 10 years later and blames herself for what happened, according to a victim impact statement.

'Nothing to do with this offending is her fault,' Judge Wendy Gillan told Hainsworth.

'This offending is very serious ... you really took the most terrible advantage of her.'

The judge mentioned Hainsworth had not learned from his previous child porn conviction, after more vile porn images were found on his hard drives in 2016.

She also said Hainsworth did not appear to have any remorse for his crimes, despite receiving sexual offending counselling during his first time in prison.

Hainsworth was charged for his offences under Commonwealth laws by police in the Philippines.

The Commonwealth laws allows Australian citizens who have left the country and sexually exploited children overseas to be tried and convicted back home.

He was sentenced to two years in jail for child porn and nine years for the abuse of the girl.
