A Tasmanian man who wrote fictitious stories in prison about the fate of high-profile missing children William Tyrell and Madeleine McCann has pleaded guilty to producing child exploitation material.
Sonny Day, 60, pleaded guilty after he was caught writing about the sexual activity of children on the walls of his prison cell, under a desk and on paper.
He was convicted of accessing, transmitting and possessing child pornography in 2014 after being jailed for similar offences in 2011.
The Supreme Court in Hobart heard Day produced the explicit material while in prison between May 2012 and June 2015.
It heard the child exploitation material included fictitious stories titled “What happened to William Tyrell” and “What happened to Madeleine McCann”.
William, aged three, went missing from his grandmother’s house in New South Wales’ mid-north coast in September 2014.
Madeleine McCann, aged three, disappeared from her bed at a Portuguese holiday resort in 2007.
They have not been found.
Day was remanded in custody to reappear at the Supreme Court next Friday for sentencing.
