A Sunshine Coast man who allegedly posted a video of a baby being swung around like a rag doll on an internet video sharing website has been committed to stand trial on child abuse offences.

Father of four Chris Illingworth, 61, was charged with one count each of using a carriage service to access and upload child abuse material after allegedly posting the three-and-a-half minute clip to Liveleak.

His home and workplace were raided by detectives from anti-child abuse group Taskforce Argos in November last year.

During a committal hearing at the Maroochydoore Magistrates Court today, Illingworth's barrister Michael Byrne QC called for the charges to be dropped on the grounds the activities depicted in the video did not satisfy the definition of child abuse.
