Shocking! - by Grace Back

Ben McCormack handed down official sentence
Channel 9

Ben McCormack, the former A Current Affair report facing multiple counts of child pornography offences, has today been handed down his sentence.

McCormack has avoided jail and been given a three-year good behaviour bond over the shocking offences. 

Sydney's Downing Centre District Court today charged the 43-year-old reporter, as well as handing him a $1000 fine. 

Judge Conlon said McCormack's reputation had been destroyed and that the public humiliation of the case had led him to try to commit suicide on two occasions. 

7 News Sydney on Twitter

McCormack was arrested in Sydney on April 6, after raids of his workplace and home.

The senior journalist was later released on bail and admitted to a private hospital for mental health treatment.

He was suspended from all duties at Channel 9.

McCormack was also ordered to stay away from children as part of his bail conditions.
