New South Wales Police Charge 4 Men Over Alleged Global Ritualistic Child Sex Abuse Content Ring

NSW police announced they have uncovered an global satanic child exploitation content network and arrested four Australian men for their alleged participation.

Probe Particulars

Investigators from the sex crimes squad stated that as part of Operation Constantine, an investigation into the digital distribution of child sexual abuse material involving satanic themes, they disrupted a Sydney-based organization.

Law enforcement claimed the group was actively involved in holding, sharing and facilitating this content through a online platform that was "managed globally".

Police Actions

Detectives, joined by the tactical unit, carried out 6 property searches in Waterloo, Ultimo and Malabar on Thursday morning last week.

• In the Waterloo location, police arrested a 26-year-old male who they claimed played a "leading role" in the network.
• The man was accused with numerous offences including holding child exploitation content, distributing abusive material, and disseminating and possessing bestiality material.
• Bail was denied to face court proceedings last Friday.

Further Detentions

In an apartment complex in Malabar, detectives arrested three men aged forty-six, 42 and 39.

Additionally they were charged with holding child exploitation content and other charges.

All four are due to return to court at a later date.
