Best-selling young adult novelist Craig Silvey has been sentenced to seven months' imprisonment after pleading guilty to the distribution and possession of depraved child exploitation material. Following his sentencing on Monday, the disgraced author published a 9,000-word apology. In this statement, Silvey expressed deep regret for his actions and claimed that he had experienced trauma and abuse during his childhood. He had been charged in January before subsequently admitting to the offences in court.
