A woman has been denied bail after allegedly trying to print images of child abuse material at a printing business.
The 36-year-old, from NSW, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Saturday, May 30. She has not been named to protect the identity of the alleged victim.
Prosecutor Susie Kim opposed the woman being granted conditional liberty and tendered documents to the court.
Defence lawyer Peter Woodhouse opposed a police bail consideration form and said it was "full of impermissible speculation".
However, magistrate Heidi Robinson then closed the court preventing media from hearing the rest of the bail application.
It is not known if the accused woman has entered a plea to one count of aggravated possession of child exploitation material.
Police allege the woman attempted to print images at a Belconnen photo printing business on Wednesday.
Due to a malfunction of the machinery, she was refunded her payment and left the store.
Soon after, staff at the store allegedly identified multiple child exploitation images that had failed to print, and contacted police.
The woman was arrested on Friday after police stopped her vehicle in Canberra.
Ultimately, the woman's bail was denied and she is set to face court again next week.
ACT Policing has urged anyone with information regarding the accessing or creation of child abuse material to contact Crime Stoppers via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
