Barry Ramsay

Barry Ramsay, a Coromandel man, recently made headlines after pleading guilty to multiple charges of possessing child exploitation material, which he claimed was for 'research' purposes related to developing an AI search engine for law enforcement. His defense argued that the images were not objectionable in his view, despite being classified as such, and he denied any sexual interest in the children involved. The case has raised significant public concern due to the nature of the allegations, including claims of grooming and exploitation.
