Real Pedophiles Being Protected

Video Transcript:

Check this out guys, make of it what you will. Very interesting that this comes out now, it should be big news, but it's not really the title of this video is nationwide pedophile ring uncovered as child exploitation spikes during COVID. Let's just play this. The Australian federal police last week charged 44 Australian men with more than 300 charges of visits. 44 men, just men not women. So you gather there'd be a few politicians involved as we know. Yeah, surely they would have uncovered a few politicians being these creeps. Let's just see if any of these people were politicians. This in child exploitation material. It's dismantled a nationwide pedophile ring. It follows a year long nation operation that saw 16 children removed from harm. Drone me now is AFP commander Christopher Ward's from the Australian Centre, the child counter to counter child exploitation commander. Thank you so much for your time. 44 men arrested. Is that just the tip of the iceberg, sadly? Sure is. Yes, I think certainly for us, it's emblematic of it's impossible to really quantify the number of people that we need to look for. The age ranges, the backgrounds of some of the people and so on. And we're going to find plenty there when it to be bitch ones and all throughout Australia. Each parliament. Is it so difficult because these perpetrators are so hard to profile? Is it so difficult to see the typical politicians? There isn't a typical offender. We see ages ranging from 1957 in operation, also. But the backgrounds and the occupations of some of these offenders, the transport, hospitality, retail, law enforcement, law enforcement. It's the full list. Let's give us names, give us names. The challenge for why hide the names? Has the pandemic seen these creeps become more active? Why they protect it? We want to see the names. Actually, the COVID-19 law enforcement names, politicians names. In the number of reports that we're receiving at the ACE. And our people have been working tirelessly throughout this period. We haven't taken our foot off the pedal. We've worked so hard. You surely haven't gone to parliament throughout Australia. Especially to one in camera. Keep pursuing these offenders. What's this shit? Why the protection? Why are we seeing these people? We want to know. They might be at, we want to know. They might be at next door neighbors. Expose these creeps as you call them. Why they've been protected and not being shown the faces and the names. Are these professional outfits that we're talking about here? Are these repeat offenders or are they opportunists? The politicians. I think it's difficult to really zero in on which of those categories. We are seeing organised criminal syndicates who do look to profit from this activity. Through to people that are being... 57. I'm sure there are older people than 57. The motivation or the group that the people come from. The attending is serious. The charges are serious. And we won't stop now for these people. What's with all the blurriness? The police. What's the big deal? They had to be removed. This shit. Why are they afraid to show the faces? They're not going to be returned to these people. Always leave back. Let's say the front of them. It looks like a woman to me. It's quite a wide definition, but effectively it means that where we've found contact defending has occurred. We've ensured that children are no longer in the presence of those offenders. So, and if the number plates have been wider there. What's the problem with showing a number plate? For the instances where offenders are in the community and do have access to children. Yeah. And so we really do call out the parents and guardians to be vigilant about what your children are doing online. And to have these conversations with them about online safety. Commander, you're doing and the AFP are doing all you can. They are not. Stop this kind of building and behaviour online. Politicians. We just mentioned there for parents. We know politicians are creeps. And so, and the way they're doing online. Is there anything else we can do as a community if they have telltale signs? I think it's really important that online safety is a topical conversation, whether it's with you, small primary and children. Through to all the children at our school. I think it needs to be a debate and the conversation that parents and people with children in their lives are leading. And there's a lot of resources available. I really implore people to have a look at thinkin.org.au. And also at the E Safety Commission as website. There's a lot of resources that can be stigmatised conversations around online safety. Obviously, this is just a bit online. You know, people having. Disgusting, you know, child pornography, whatever. It's not so much pedophilia. The real hard stuff. The real hard stuff that we know is going on. Going on in. With the politicians and other high profile people. Yeah, they made a bit of a deal out of this. It's just what's been going on. They're telling us nothing. You know, child pornography. That's all these people are being arrested for. The hard stuff they won't go near. They won't go near. They're actually being protected as we know.
