An Adelaide paedophile who committed some of “the worst and most degrading offending” seen by investigating police has been handed a 36-year sentence. 

Jadd William Brooker, 41, from Glenelg East, pleaded guilty to 182 offences of child sexual abuse, aggravated dissemination of child exploitation material, aggravated producing and possessing child exploitation material between 2016 and 2020.

During the case the court heard that Mr Brooker — who is HIV positive — was conversing with a “like-minded individual” about his desire to infect children with HIV.

The Supreme Court of South Australia gave Brooker a non-parole period of 29 years, backdated to his arrest in 2020.
