A man will be sentenced next month on a charge of using the internet to threaten students at his former Sydney high school.
Jason James Cousins, 30, of North Parramatta, today pleaded guilty to a charge of using a carriage service to menace or harass after posting a YouTube video earlier this month, in which he referred to a student massacre at a high school in Finland.
In Waverley Local Court, registrar Rebecca Clifton continued Cousins' bail and adjourned the matter for sentencing on December 12.
Cousins is alleged to have said in the YouTube video that victims of the Finland school massacre had "got what they deserved".
The court has been told Cousins was referring to the November 7 massacre in which a gunman shot dead eight other people before shooting himself at the school in Tuusula, 50km north of the capital, Helsinki.
A student at the school, he had posted footage foreshadowing the massacre on YouTube.
The court was told Cousins had said: "I'm giving him the centre stage for four more days."
"Then the cameras will be at Cambridge Park High School in Sydney. Those students (in Finland) got what they deserved."
Cousins, a plumber, represented himself on YouTube under the user-name killthemallnow, the court has been told.
Police tracked the IP address back to his North Parramatta address, where Cousins had been living for the past six months.
A legal aid lawyer for Cousins told an earlier hearing into the charges that Cousins had co-operated with police in a "rational, sensible and remorseful" manner.
He also said Cousins had no psychological or health issues and was not a flight risk or someone who would fail to appear in court.
Cousins is on bail under strict conditions, which include that he not enter the suburb of Cambridge Park for any reason and that he not use a computer for any reason during the duration of the case.
