The Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET) have arrested a 25-year-old man in relation to child abuse material offences.
Around 6:35am on 4 March, Detectives from JACET and the Sex Crimes Unit executed a search warrant at an address in Bellamack after acting on information from the United States National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The man was arrested in relation to the evidence found during the search.
He has since been charged with:
- 2x Possess or control child abuse material
- 5x Access child abuse material
- 4x Transmit child abuse material
- 2x Distribute animal sexual abuse and animal crush material
He has been remanded to appear in Darwin Court today.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Sarah Firth said “Accessing, possessing, or distributing child abuse material is a horrific crime that will not be tolerated. The Northern Territory Police remain committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community, and we will continue to work tirelessly to hold offenders accountable for this abhorrent behaviour."
