Crackdown on Net child abuse
January 25, 2005
AUSTRALIA has teamed up with the US, Canada and the UK to cast an international net to crack down on child abuse on the Internet.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty will launch the global program to fight child abuse and pornography online on Thursday.
Mr Keelty will join the director of the Australian High Tech Crime Centre, Kevin Zuccato, to unveil the virtual global task force website, a key element in the global program to stop child abuse.
A worldwide child pornography blitz late last year dubbed Operation Auxin identified more than 700 suspects in Australia and led to 228 arrests and 2260 charges.
