Footage of pedophile repeatedly assaulting 2-year-old girl forces disturbed judge to walk out of trial

Justice Leanne Clare said she had viewed a portion of one of the tapes and found it 'very confronting' and said she needed a break so that emotions wouldn't cloud her judgment.

Jason Daron Mizner, a convicted child rapist, was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday at the Brisbane District Court. However, it was put off until Friday. When Justice Leanne Clare viewed a portion of one of the many rape tapes, she was so shaken that she needed a break to ensure emotions didn't get the best of her while passing the judgment.

"I think it would be best to put some distance between the viewing of that tape and the delivery of the judgment so that it does not overwhelm the sentence," she said, describing the tapes as "very confronting." But with more than 60 child sex crimes towards the 2-year-old infant that Mizner has pleaded guilty to, the prosecution wants the 44-year-old jailed for life, reports Daily Mail.

His abominable activities date back to the early 2000s and include over 30 counts of rape and recording the horrific assaults on tape. That said, owing to the "torture" he suffered the last time he was in prison for a different crime, Mizner's lawyers argued his sentence should be reduced.
