Sydney doctor Thrasivoulos Triantopoulos spared jail for child abuse material charge

·

South-west Sydney doctor Thrasivoulos Triantopoulos has been spared jail time on sentence after he confessed to watching sickening child porn on the internet during all-night binge-watching sessions.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the former Eagle Vale Medical Centre GP spent almost three months in custody following his arrest in September last year, before the NSW Supreme Court granted him strict bail, which included a ban from working in the medical profession.

Triantopoulos subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge of using a carriage service to access child abuse material, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 15 years.

The court heard detectives discovered 1,602 images and videos of child abuse material stored on Triantopoulos’ computer during a raid at his Rouse Hill home. The videos depicted children as young as three years old being sexually abused or posing in various states of undress.

The former Eagle Vale Medical Centre GP has been spared jail time on sentence.

When asked why he viewed the material, Triantopoulos said “because I’m a sick person.”

The court was informed that Triantopoulos had been struggling with excessive alcohol consumption during the time of the incident and was dealing with complex grief disorder following the loss of his 18-year-old son to a degenerative genetic condition in 2021.

Recently, Triantopoulos received a 14-month suspended prison sentence at Penrith District Court. Judge Gallagher ruled against a return to jail.

In her decision, Judge Gallagher determined that Triantopoulos posed a low risk of reoffending.

“I find he has very good prospects of rehabilitation given his prior good character, the time spent in custody and his loss of employment, which has had a salutary effect on him,” she said.
