A man from Sydney, Australia is fighting charges for owing a child-size sex doll the size of a 12- to 14-year-old girl.

Australian federal police raided the man's apartment in 2013 when they found the sex doll in his bed wearing a night gown. The man told police he dressed the doll up when he got it and laid it on his bed so he could use it as a hug pillow when he sleeps, Daily Telegraph reports. 

The doll was purchased from an Australian arm of a Chinese website. It's molded in the shape of a preteen girl, has a removable silicon genital insert, stands 4-foot-3-inches and weighs 66 pounds. 

Child abuse campaigners argue that this doll is "one-step away" from real child sex and they are urging lawmakers to rewrite the laws, reports Daily Telegraph.

The 32-year-old accused man's lawyer, Benjamin Goh, is planning to defend his client by saying the legal definition of child abuse doesn't currently include child-size laws. 

"The government needs to make sure the law keeps up with what's on the market," Goh said to Daily Telegraph. "It is similar to when synthetic drugs were not captured under law. There were substances that had similar ­effects to LSD and ecstasy but were completely legal before the laws were changed."
