An Australian mother who sent explicit photos of her young children to a sex offender she was having an affair with will not be spending a single day behind bars despite being convicted of multiple charges.

The woman, from Queensland, was first arrested after she went to the police and complained that she was being blackmailed over the photos by the pedophile's wife, according to the Daily Mail.

She told authorities that the wife had found the images of her children, aged three, five, and seven, on her husband's phone and demanded that she pay up $100,000 or risk seeing the pictures shared with her family.

The mother insisted the images were sent as part of an "innocent" conversation with the man and an attempt to get him to "involve" himself in their lives. However, during their investigation, officers uncovered that they were sexually explicit. They showed the girls naked, partially undressed, or with their legs open.

In one of the photos, the seven-year-old girl and the three-year-old girl were naked, with the older girl spreading her legs open. The five-year-old was also in the pictures, wearing just her underwear.

They also found that the man she was conversing with was a convicted sex offender who had previously raped other young girls.

Earlier this week, the mother pleaded guilty to charges relating to making and distributing child pornography but escaped prison after she was given just an 18-month suspended sentence by a judge.

Her conviction was not recorded either. The pedophile was deported to New Zealand from Australia after he was convicted of possessing child porn — the same images that the mother had sent him through texts.

He was then sentenced to 18 years in prison after he was also convicted of sexually abusing five other young girls between the ages of four and 14 at a New Zealand court. It is currently unclear what has happened to the children.
