A Brisbane man arrested after sending an ultrasound of his unborn child to an undercover FBI agent posing as a paedophile has been sentenced to five years imprisonment for child sex abuse offences.

Ashley David Hill, 25, appeared in Brisbane district court on Friday having pleaded guilty to five charges, including using a carriage service to access child sex abuse material.

Judge David Reid sentenced him to five years, with a non-parole period of two-and-a-half years, describing Hill as demonstrating a “gross lack of insight” into the reality of the “vile industry”.
