Sydney cameraman lashes out at judge over child sex sentence
Emmy nominated aerial cinematographer Nathan Tomlinson was this month convicted of 22 charges including having sex with two underage girls and producing and possessing child abuse material.
Tomlinson who was well known in the industry for his camera work on The Oprah Winfrey show, the Deepsea Challenge Dive lead by James Cameron, and numerous TV shows and documentaries was sentenced for for 13 years and six months with a non-parole period of eight years.
Tomlinson, spent most of the 90-minute hearing with his head in his hands, delivered an outburst as the judge left the courtroom.
"For all the media in the room, there will be an appeal," he said.
"We will win it. It's pretty straightforward. This is a pretty f---ed up case."
In her sentencing remarks, Judge Wass said Tomlinson had embarked on secretive relationships with two schoolgirls after first interacting with them at the ages of 13 and 14.
Tomlinson's sentencing was delayed while he faced trial on other (more serious) charges for which he will be sentenced on June 19 2020
