NEWS: Australia makes child porn sweep

More than 150 people have been charged with child pornography offences in the biggest crackdown in Australia. Teachers, police officers, a child care centre owner and employees of former and present members of state parliament were among them. The typical people next door you would never expect. More than 2m images were seized, involving children aged 2-16, after raids across the country.



Australian police have also discovered a number of photographic studios in suburban homes apparently designed for the production of child pornography.

"(They) are the most extreme that we have ever seen here in the territory," NT Organised and Major Crime Squad acting commander Colleen Gwynne said. Nevertheless, this awful crimes need to be stopped, they are damaging the kids.

Although there was no comment on the photos themselves, it was mentioned that some of the pornographic material dated back 20 years.

Here is a breakdown of the sweep:

1: Queensland - 55
2: New South Wales - 42
3: Australian Capital Territory - unknown number
4: Victoria - unknown number
5: Tasmania - unknown number
6: South Australia - 7
7: Western Australia - 21
8: Northern Territory - 9

I just want to say thanks to the FBI for tipping the Aussie police off

This big a story, and this small a reply?

Great good Aussies, looks like not all police officers eat donughts and do nothing.

Well I didn't really want to post a long topic about how this never would have happened without US help....although what makes this interesting is that on Law & Order:SVU on the night all this was revealed, was about breaking an international kiddy porn ring.

Great job, Aussies

We need more raids like this one all over the world.

This may sound callous & hard, but the Media attention this story has been given in Australia has been comparable with 9/11 & the Invasion of Iraq, what's the truth?
What are they diverting our attention from?
What are they setting us up for?

Who remebers the "co-operation" between the Australian Pedophile task force & their Asian counterparts to destroy the "Child Sex Tours" for Western tourists being conducted in poor Asian countries?
Yes some strides had been made & some "token" arrests had been conducted, but what happened?

I'll tell you.

The Asian Tiger crashed,suddenly there was no longer any funds to devote towards the Task Force, indeed the flood gates were let open for these "kiddy fiddlers" to roam whence they will.
it seems for a country like Indonesia "Tourist Dollars" are more important than the rights & safety of children

Remember the Children, it's for their Safety & Protection
