NSW:Global child porn ring busted

Police say they expect more arrests after busting an international network of child
exploitation websites .. which sold sickening images of youngsters as young as three years
old being abused.

A global taskforce of detectives brought down the 230 websites as part of a wider operation
.. which has led to 30 thousand customers being identified in 132 countries and hundreds
of arrests.

Federal police assistant commissioner NEIL GAUGHAN says some of the child exploitation
images are likely to have been made in Australia.

He says some of the website customers are also likely to live in Australia.
