Global child pornography network smashed
A Australian detectives have charged
22 men including a policeman, a senior lawyer and a child care worker in
connection with a child pornography-sharing network spanning 70 countries. “The investigation into men sharing images
over the Internet – rather than downloading from an illicit website, a crime that is easier to detect – was prompted by
information from a covert Brazilian
police investigation a year ago,” Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner
Andrew Colvin said.
B “The Brazilian information, which was shared via the international
policing network Interpol, identified more than 200 suspects in 70 countries,”
he said. “These are some of the worst images, I must say, that the Federal
Police have ever seen,” Colvin told reporters. “Australian police have seized
500,000 images of child abuse and 15,000 videos, some showing children being
abused for more than two hours. The victims were as young as 12 months old,” he
said.
C “Those charged in Australia
include a Queen’s Counsel, the nation’s most senior and lucrative rank of
attorney, a police officer and at least one child care worker,” Colvin said.
Police did not say whether any arrests were made outside Australia in connection with the
case.
D None of those charged can by law be identified before they appear in
court. “These offenders have access to children, be it their own children, their neighbours’ children, children from
broken relationships, children they might have responsibility for – some of these
people are in positions of responsibility,” Colvin said. “Two children had been
removed from defendants although
there was no evidence that they had been abused,” he said.
E Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan said more
arrests were expected this week. “All the charges relate to accessing the
images and could result in a 10-year prison sentence for possessing child abuse
material. The victims were mostly from the Americas
as well as Eastern Europe,” he said.
