“The man was arrested yesterday (Thursday, 1 October 2020) by ABF investigators following the execution of search warrants at his home and work place in Bulleen and Kensington, Victoria.
During the search, a number of electronic devices were seized by ABF investigators.”
“The maximum penalty for the import of child abuse material is 10 years’ imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $555,000.”
““Child-like sex dolls are an emerging form of child abuse material that the ABF is determined to prevent from crossing our border,” Acting Superintendent Parish said.”
“Child exploitation is a global issue and the ABF actively engages with our law enforcement partners to further investigate these matters domestically and internationally and to prevent any harm to children here or overseas.”
“The Customs Act 1901 was amended to clarify that child-like sex dolls are a form of child abuse material, providing more certainty to officers at the border.”
“People with information about those who may be importing child-like sex dolls or other child exploitation material, should contact Border Watch by going to Australia.gov.au/borderwatch.”

The Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) this week released its updated Code of Ethics following a review. While we welcome some new elements in the Code, we have reservations about its overall effectiveness.
The updated Code – taking effect Feb 2021 - includes restrictions on undue focus on male or female anatomy, unless relevant to the product being advertised, use of sexualised imagery or graphic violence where children are likely to view it, & avoiding harmful gender stereotypes.
“Australians should be outraged by this offending..recent investigations have revealed that pedophiles who view online child sex abuse material have also been contact offenders — and they are contact offending against children offshore and in Australia.” - AFP Asst Comm Lesa Gale
“It is a dreadful statistic and we should be ashamed of it. Research indicates Australia is the third largest consumer of live, online child sexual abuse.”
“This is National Child Protection Week. The Australian Federal Police works with agencies in Australia and overseas to keep kids safe — and to bring to justice those who harm our most vulnerable.”
