A South Australian paedophile who exploited a vulnerable Filipino mother and committed depraved child sexual crimes has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Andrew Donald Steele, 66, was sentenced in the SA District Court on Friday after pleading guilty to seven charges. The Fleurieu Peninsula man was arrested in May last year after Australian Border Force officers found an image of a child on his phone when he returned from Indonesia.
‘Revolting and depraved’ Muscat said Steele’s communications were “revolting as much as they are depraved”. “Indeed so graphic and depraved is the content of your conversations that I am not prepared to repeat them in these remarks, other than to indicate that they involve extremely young girls being raped in various ways and taking pleasure from that,” he said. Steele, formerly of the Northern Territory, had retired to Yankalilla on the Fleurieu Peninsula in 2019 with his family.
