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.
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".
"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."
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".
