A 68-year-old Australian man was charged with possessing child abuse material and arranging live-streamed abuse of minors in the Philippines, following a U.S.-led investigation.

A 68-year-old South Australian man has been charged with possessing child abuse material after a joint investigation by the AFP and JACET uncovered hundreds of images and videos from a raid on his Adelaide home. The probe, prompted by a tip from U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, alleges he used social media to arrange live-streamed sexual abuse of minors in the Philippines. He faces up to 15 years in prison and is due in Adelaide Magistrates Court. Authorities stressed the importance of international cooperation in combating transnational online child exploitation.
