A disheveled Lawrence Krause decided against trying for bail when he appeared in Albury Local Court yesterday morning.

“Didn’t Lawrence Krause appear before me on Wednesday?” magistrate Imad Abdul-Karim asked police prosecutor Sergeant Shannon Lewis and defence solicitor Sascha McCorriston.

The 58-year-old had his bail extended on Wednesday after pleading guilty to possessing child abuse material, related to “fantasy” stories relating to sexual activities between children and adults.

This was initially set to go to a hearing, but negotiations between police and his solicitor in that case, Tim Hemsley, resulted in guilty pleas.

On those charges he will be sentenced on September 26, after Mr Abdul-Karim ordered a pre-sentence report.

The latest allegation relates to a tip-off made since then to police, who went to Krause’s home on Thursday about 2pm.

They seized flash drives, hard drives and SD cards, which police claim contain child abuse material.

Krause, who fronted in jeans, a faded short-sleeved blue shirt and wearing handcuffs, has not entered a plea to two counts of possess child abuse material in relation to that police search.

He also faces a detention application charge, in connection to breaching bail.

“I confirm there is no application for release today,” Ms McCorriston told Mr Abdul-Karim during a brief mention of the case.

“I ask for the matters to go over for a couple of weeks for Legal Aid to pick these matters up.”

The matter was adjourned to August 14.
