A 38-year-old Malaysian man has been deported from Melbourne, Australia after he was found with "child exploitation material."

This is the second such incident reported this week in which a Malaysian was denied entry to Australia as a result of possessing illicit material.

The Australian Border Force (ABF) said in a statement issued today that officers had found two videos and twenty photos containing what was deemed to be child exploitation material on a mobile device.

The man, who arrived on Tuesday, was detained pending deportation and had his device seized.

It is unclear if the man was detained upon returning to Malaysia.

Under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, those who possess pornographic material can be jailed for up to 30 years and whipped six times.

Yesterday, it was reported that a 43-year-old Malaysian had been deported from Perth International Airport after his mobile phone was found to have contained videos of "extreme sexual depravity and violence".
