FOLLOWING yesterday’s reports of a child sexual imagery website targeting five ACT schools ACT Policing held a media event which you can see below:

In the meantime Queensland Police have issued a statement which would seem to indicate the matter is not as serious as first thought:

“We believe the site is hosted overseas and does not appear to contain any child exploitation material,” Detective Superintendent Cheryl Scanlon of the Child Safety and Sexual Crimes Group said.

Material contained on the site are images and information that has been obtained from social media sites and from across the internet.

“We cannot stress how important it is for everyone to protect themselves online. Pictures you post on social media sites are unfortunately there for the taking to anyone who is your friend, or even a friend of a friend.

Given that accessing such a site or looking at the images, if it were to contain such material, would open the researcher up to criminal charges we advise everyone to let the police do their jobs.
