A man in Sydney‘s west has been charged with multiple child abuse and bestiality offences after police in Australia received a tipoff from an American team tasked with tracking alleged paedophiles.
Investigations into the man began in April after the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation received a report from the US National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
The report revealed a user had allegedly been uploading child abuse material to a Google platform.
A 40-year-old Hebersham man was arrested on Tuesday after officers executed a search warrant of his home.
They located and seized a mobile phone which later revealed files allegedly containing child abuse material, highly explicit conversations about abusing children, and bestiality material, which police will allege was produced by the man.
As a result of the charges, 19 dogs that had allegedly been kept in cruel conditions, were also removed from the property.
Detective Sergeant Navi Pandher said: ‘The AFP and its partners will continue to stay a step ahead of this vile industry to ensure those preying on children face the full force of the law.’
The man’s charges include two counts of possessing or controlling child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service and three counts of using a carriage service to transmit, make available, publish, distribute or promote child abuse material.
He was also charged with one count of engaging in an act of bestiality.
Each of these offences carries a maximum imprisonment of 14 or 15 years.
The man is expected to appear at Mount Druitt Local Court on Wednesday.
