McCormack in court for child porn charges
A Current Affair reporter Ben McCormack and criminal lawyer Sam Macedone leave the Downing Centre court in Sydney. McCormack is facing charges of sending child pornography material.
Mr Macedone told court the brief of evidence had been partially served and prosecutors were waiting for more police statements.
Mr McCormack, who has been suspended from Channel Nine, faced a huge media pack after his brief court appearance.

"The matter has been adjourned until the 5th of September," Mr Macedone told reporters, as Mr McCormack stood nearby.
"We'll be in a much better position to understand what's happening then. On the next occasion we will be entering a plea."
Mr Macedone would not say what that plea will be.
Mr McCormack was followed by journalists and photographers as he walked down Liverpool Street, but he did not make any comment.
The 43-year-old could not face court in May because he was admitted to hospital soon after his highly-publicised arrest, and was "not in a good place".
At that time, Mr Macedone said the charges against his client were not the "usual" child pornography offences.
"None of the charges that have been levelled against him involves pictures or explicit details of young kids," he said.
"It's got nothing to do with the usual child pornography where you've got young children being photographed or in a video or anything like that. It's nothing more than a discussion and that's all there is."
Mr McCormack was arrested by detectives from the sex crimes squad at Moore Park as he drove to work on April 6.
Police searched his home and A Current Affair's offices in Willoughby before he was charged with two counts of using a carriage service to send child pornography material and released on strict bail conditions.
When suspending Mr McCormack, Channel Nine described the allegations as "serious".
