Albury magistrate Sally McLaughlin was told, in agreed Crown facts, how the victim's mother met Ries in 2002 through an online video game.

About February 7, 2015, Ries travelled from Sydney to visit the woman and her family, and over the following three days they either swam or visited the sights of Albury.

At some time he took seven photographs focusing on the girl's underpants as she lay on her back.

In total he took 24 photographs, some of the victim's bare bottom and, after pushing aside her underwear, her genital area.

Ries, his partner and their son moved to Melbourne in March, 2018.

He was arrested at his Brighton home the following month, with police seizing a hard drive on which the West Albury photographs were found in a file under the victim's first name.

Three million pornographic videos and photographs were on the drive, of which 290,195 were categorised as child abuse.

On being interviewed at the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre on August 21, 2018, Ries gave police the name of the victim's mother.

Until then they did not know the child's identity.
