A children’s face painter accused of uploading more than a dozen images of child abuse is among nine accused paedophiles rounded up in secretive raids by federal police across Sydney.
Others picked up by the Australian Federal Police over the past fortnight include an IT worker who allegedly posed as a girl to solicit nude photos from teenage boys, a man accused of paying three times to watch children being sexually abused overseas, and another man accused of administering a group chat focused on child abuse material.
The Australian Federal Police have spent a fortnight executing 15 search warrants and laying 30 charges across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Southern Highlands under Operation Titan.
Titan’s officers hauled nine people into custody across two weeks of raids, seizing more than 50 electronic devices in the process.
