Im pretty sure that I saw this video here or on some other site, but it was doing the rounds for about a month or so about 6-8months ago.
Man committed to trial over baby video (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/835153/man-committed-to-trial-over-baby-video)
A Queensland man has been committed to stand trial over sharing on the internet a video of an eastern European man swinging a baby.
Christopher Charles Illingworth, 60, of Maroochydore, stands charged with one count of using a carriage service to make available material showing child abuse and one count of using a carriage service to access material showing child abuse.
The freelance journalist and father of four allegedly shared the video using the website Liveleak, a site similar to YouTube but mainly carrying short videos relating to news and current affairs.
The court heard the video originated from either Russia or Ukraine and was traced to Illingworth's home, which was subsequently raided in November 2008 by police officers from Task Force Argos, which targets child pornography and abuse.
During the committal hearing, the court heard Illingworth posted the video with a disclaimer, asking for people who knew of its origin to contact Liveleak so they could pass the information on to the proper authorities.
