Trial hears arguments over whether ‘child-like’ sex doll constitutes child porn

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A forensic psychiatrist says the sex doll at the centre of a trial in Newfoundland had some “breast budding,” but is still “child-like.”

Dr. Peter Collins said under cross-examination in provincial court today that the height of the doll — 120 cm or around four feet — depicts a child.

He says it also came with “little girl panties” from a website in Japan that advertises child-like and adult sex dolls.

Kenneth Harrisson of St. John’s, a 51-year-old electrician, has pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing child pornography and mailing obscene matter.

The doll was on its way to St. John’s from Japan in 2013 when the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted it.

Defence lawyer Bob Buckingham used photos of the doll to suggest it could depict a woman with small breasts.
