He appeared for sentence at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 4 October. Raj Chopra, defending, said his client had simply agreed to help a friend, 'Georgie', back in Ukraine and realised he had made a "very silly mistake"."He asked for a couple of films. He didn't know, he's only a young man, only 24 years of age, he didn't realise what he was doing was illegal.
