Dec. 1 Authorities in Australia on Monday said they have arrested and charged four Sydney men for their alleged role in what they called “an international satanic child sex abuse material ring.”
The suspects were detained Thursday when police executed six search warrants in the Sydney regions of Waterloo, Ultimo and Malabar, the New South Wales Police said Monday in a statement.
At the Waterloo residence, a 26-year-old man was arrested. Police allege he played a leading role in the illicit group. The three other suspects, aged 39, 42, and 49, were arrested at a unit block in Malabar.
The suspects were arrested by officers of Strike Force Constantine, which investigates the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic or satanic themes.
