An Edgeworth man will spend at least 3 years in gaol over multiple sexual abuse offences committed against a woman and a child.
Federal Police began investigating the 44-year-old after he was identified through the nationwide Operation Arkstone.
He was arrested in December 2020.
Inquiries revealed the man was producing and distributing child abuse material and intimate images of a woman without her consent.
The man was sentenced on Thursday in Newcastle Local Court to a maximum 6 years, with a non-parole period of 3.
