— A Newfoundland man has been found not guilty of possessing child pornography after a judge determined it was not proven he knew the sex doll he ordered was child-sized. It is believed to be the first trial in Canada dealing with child pornography charges involving a sex doll. The case was poised to set a precedent around what constitutes child pornography when no real child is involved. A Crown lawyer argued in closing submissions that the doll delivered was three-dimensional child pornography. Much of Collins’ testimony hinged on the way the dolls were advertised online, on a website that sold adult and childlike sex dolls.
