Grandma posts sexual assault of toddler on TikTok

A 50-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly repeatedly sexually abusing her two-year-old granddaughter and posting vision of it on social media platform TikTok, before it was quickly removed from the social-media site without anyone seeing it. 

On January 27, Australian Federal Police received a report of newly produced child-abuse material that had been uploaded to social-media platforms.

A TikTok spokesperson says the site first alerted police to this content, which was taken down before anyone saw it.

The incident was passed to ACT police who, yesterday (February 5), searched a southside house and arrested the 50-year-old woman.

She faces charges of charged with aggravated acts of indecency against a child under 10 years, using a child to produce aggravated child exploitation material and using a carriage service for child-abuse materials.
