A 53-year-old Daintree man has been arrested by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) at Brisbane Airport, following his extradition from Cambodia.
This man is the first person to be extradited to Australia to face prosecution for offences under the laws which came into effect on 1 March 2005 relating to online child sex exploitation within the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth).
The arrest has resulted from an extensive investigation known as Operation Resistance, which commenced in June 2008 after information was received by the AFP’s High Tech Crime Operations Child Protection team from child protection counterparts in Brazil. The information indicated that alleged offenders were sharing videos depicting child sexual abuse on the Internet.
