This is when a man and woman were marched out of their Sydney home after being arrested on four charges of online child abuse and bestiality offences.
The man, 31, who lives with the unnamed 24-year-old woman, was reportedly identified by federal police following a tip from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The couple is due to appear in court in Campbelltown on Thursday after they refused bail during a brief appearance on Wednesday.
Detective Sergeant Navi Pandher said the Australian Federal Police and its international law enforcement partners are committed to protecting children wherever they live.
“Anyone who views or shares this material is raising the question of sexually abusing and exploiting real children,” he said.
“We work tirelessly to keep children safe and identify and prosecute anyone who contributes to their harm.”
The man, 31, who lives with the unnamed 24-year-old woman, was reportedly identified by Australian police after Homeland Security in the US warned them that someone was accessing, requesting and forwarding child abuse material online.
