New South Wales Law Enforcement Charge 4 Men Over Alleged International Satanic Child Sex Abuse Material Ring
NSW police revealed they've uncovered an global satanic child exploitation content network and charged four Australian men for their suspected involvement.
Investigation Details
Detectives from the sex crimes squad stated that as part of Strike Force Constantine, an investigation into the digital circulation of child exploitation content involving ritualistic elements, they dismantled a Sydney-located organization.
Police claimed the network was regularly involved in holding, distributing and enabling this material through a online platform that was "administered internationally".
Law Enforcement Operations
Detectives, accompanied by the riot squad, carried out six property searches in the Waterloo area, Ultimo and Malabar region on Thursday morning the previous week.
- In the Waterloo location, police arrested a 26-year-old man who they claimed played a "key position" in the group.
- The man was charged with multiple offences including holding child exploitation content, distributing abusive material, and spreading and owning bestiality content.
- Bail was denied to face court proceedings the previous Friday.
Further Arrests
At a unit block in Malabar, investigators took into custody three men aged 46, forty-two and 39.
Additionally they were charged with possession of child abuse material and additional offenses.
The four individuals are due to return to court at a future time.
