Australia charges four men over ‘satanic’ child sex abuse material

Australia has charged four men with numerous crimes related to possessing and distributing "satanic" child sex abuse material. The New South Wales police, who executed six search warrants at several addresses in Sydney last week, claim that the men were part of an international network that shared disturbing videos featuring children as young as 12 being abused and tortured in rituals linked to Satanism.

The operation, codenamed Strike Force Constantine, uncovered a paedophile ring based in Sydney. The police said they seized thousands of videos depicting child abuse involving symbols and occult themes. The men, aged 26, 39, 42, and 46, were arrested on Thursday and face over 20 charges, including possessing and distributing child abuse material, bestiality, and drug-related offenses.

The police stated that the group's online platform allowed them to share and discuss the abuse of children without being detected. They did not verify where the abuse material was produced or identified any of the victims. However, they are working with international partners to identify the children involved in the abuse.

Superintendent Jayne Doherty, commander of the sex crimes squad, said that officers were concerned about any potential contact between the children and the accused men. She stated that police will allege in court that the group was sharing material depicting child abuse and torture involving symbols linked to Satanism and occult rituals.

The four men were refused bail and are set to appear in court next month. Authorities have confirmed that none of the men recorded the videos themselves, but their actions are now subject to investigation. The case highlights the growing concern over online child sex abuse material and the importance of international cooperation in identifying and prosecuting offenders.
 
Ugh, I cant even imagine what these guys must've done... so many kids affected by this. Like, how do you even share that kinda stuff without thinking about the consequences? These 4 guys are lucky they got caught before it was too late 🤯. The fact that none of them recorded the videos themselves is still scary tho - whoever created all these sick vids should get busted too 🚔. Can't believe some people think sharing child abuse material is okay... I mean, I know it's not just one dude, there's an entire network involved, but still... the law needs to do a better job of keeping these pedos in check 💯.
 
🚫 these guys sound like they're from another planet. i mean, what kind of sicko creates a network where you can share vids of kids being tortured for some kinda twisted ritual? that's not even human. gotta be super scared for the kids involved. hope the authorities get to who made those vids and make 'em pay 💸
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... it's just so sickening 🤢. I mean, thousands of videos of kids being abused and tortured? It's just horrific. How did these people even get away with this for so long? And now they're saying none of them recorded the videos themselves? That just makes it even more disturbing, like they were all just pawns in this twisted game 🤯.

And what really gets me is that these kids are still out there... I mean, we think we've identified some of them but... what if not everyone was caught? It's just so frustrating knowing that these people could have caused harm to so many innocent kids. I'm glad the police were able to crack down on this operation and take action, but it's just a reminder of how far we still have to go in terms of keeping our kids safe online 😔.

I wish there was more being done to help victims like these... more resources, more support... something. It's just not fair that they're the ones who got hurt, and then they're left to deal with the trauma for years on end 💔.
 
Ugh, can't even imagine what kinda sicko does this stuff 🤯🚫. Like, who creates that much crap? Thousands of videos, dude... it's just disturbing. And the fact they were sharing it online without anyone knowing is just disgusting 😷. I mean, I know we need to protect kids and all, but come on, can't we do better than this? The police are doing their job, but it's still hard to see these guys facing charges when they're not even the ones making the sick content 🤔.

And what really gets me is that they didn't identify any of the victims... like, at least have some decency in that department 💔. But I guess that's just part of the problem with online abuse – it's so hard to track down who's responsible and how their crap ends up online 🚫. International cooperation is key here, but we need more than that. We need to make these platforms do more to stop this kind of stuff from spreading 💻.
 
Umm, I gotta say, this whole thing is super concerning 🤕... on one hand, I'm glad the police were able to crack down on these individuals and take action against them. But, like, can we talk about how vague all this is? They're not even sure where the abuse material came from or who the victims are 😒. It's just so many unanswered questions.

And what really gets me is that none of the guys recorded the videos themselves, but they're still being held accountable for distributing and possessing them 🤔. Like, isn't that a bit unfair? Shouldn't they be going after the people who actually created this stuff?

But at the same time, I get why the authorities are so worried about online child sex abuse material - it's just horrific 💔. And international cooperation is definitely necessary to take down these kinds of rings.

So yeah, on one hand, I'm glad something's being done, but on the other hand, there are just so many grey areas here that need to be explored 💭.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... it's just so sickening that these guys thought they could share that kind of stuff online without anyone noticing. 🤯 The fact that they were part of an international network is wild, too - I mean, who knows how many other people were involved in this? It's just a reminder of how easy it is for some twisted individuals to spread their evil thoughts and actions online.

I'm also kinda worried about the kids who might've been affected by this... I know the police are doing everything they can to identify them, but it's still scary to think that these guys could've had contact with them. We need to be super careful when we're online and make sure we're not inadvertently spreading anything bad.

Anyway, I'm just glad that law enforcement is cracking down on this stuff - it's a huge step in the right direction. We need more people like those detectives who are willing to take on cases like this and bring some justice to the victims... 💯
 
I feel so bad for those kids... 🤕 Like, can you even imagine what they went through? I'm just glad that the police were able to crack down on this whole thing and bring some justice to the victims... or at least their families. It's crazy to think about how easily this stuff can be shared online without anyone noticing. Like, it's our job as a society to look out for each other, right? And if we see something that doesn't feel right, we should say something.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing - the fact that these guys were sharing this stuff or that they thought they could get away with it. I mean, come on, guys... there are kids involved here! It's just not okay. And yeah, I know that none of them recorded the videos themselves, but still... their actions speak volumes.

I hope that the fact that these guys are being charged and will face some serious consequences helps to deter others from doing something like this. We need to look out for each other and make sure our online communities are safe spaces for everyone. 💻
 
I'm really disturbed by this recent crackdown on child sex abuse material in Australia 🤕. It's chilling to think about the sheer scale of the network that was uncovered - thousands of videos depicting heinous acts involving children as young as 12 years old. The fact that these men were able to share and discuss this content online without being detected is a stark reminder of the need for better moderation on social media platforms 💻.

While it's commendable that the authorities are working with international partners to identify the victims involved, I think we need to acknowledge that this case highlights a much broader problem - the anonymity of the internet can be both a blessing and a curse 🌐. It's up to us as individuals to be more vigilant about reporting suspicious content and supporting efforts to combat online child sex abuse.

The men involved are facing serious charges, but I hope that their arrests will also serve as a catalyst for further conversations about this issue and how we can better protect our children from harm 💡.
 
🤯 these guys must've been living under a rock for them not to know it's a crime to mess with kids. thousands of vids, that's sick 🚫. police did the right thing by taking action, but still gotta wonder how this all went down without someone stepping in sooner ⏰. international cooperation is key, good on 'em 👍
 
😱🚨💔 this is so sad 🤕, how can people be so cruel 😢? kids being hurt like that 💔 is just not okay 🙅‍♂️. online platforms gotta do better to keep us safe 🛡️, no excuses for sharing sick stuff 🤢. police are doing great work 👮‍♀️, investigating and working with others to catch these bad guys 👊. hope the kids involved get help and support ❤️, and that justice is served 💯. no bail? 🚫 fair enough, they gotta face the music 🎵. so important we talk about this topic 💬, raise awareness and keep each other safe 🔒! 👍
 
man this is so disturbing 🤯 the fact that these guys were sharing videos of children being abused and tortured without any accountability is just heartbreaking 😩 its like they think they're above the law or something. i mean who does this kind of stuff? and how many kids are we talking about here? 12 years old? that's insane 👎

and what really gets me is that these guys were able to share this stuff online without being caught for so long. it just goes to show that there's still a lot of work to be done when it comes to keeping our kids safe online 🤖 we need to be more vigilant and report any suspicious activity ASAP.

i'm also really worried about the fact that none of these guys recorded the videos themselves, but they're still guilty by association. does this mean that anyone who's ever watched or downloaded this stuff could be held accountable? it just feels like a slippery slope 🚨
 
Ugh, can't believe these guys were able to get away with this for so long 🤯. I mean, thousands of videos depicting child abuse? That's just sickening. And they're not even saying who made the videos or where the kids came from... that's just disgusting.

And what really gets my blood boiling is that they set up some online platform to share all this stuff without anyone detecting it. It's like, how hard is it to use a VPN or something? Like, grow up and take responsibility for your actions!

I'm glad the police are taking action now, but I wish they had gotten to these guys sooner. This whole thing just highlights how messed up online communities can be... we need to do more to prevent this stuff from happening in the first place.
