Even seasoned detectives who were part of an elite squad were left shocked by the mammoth number of men they found gathering in a secret online space to share sickening child abuse material, with babies among the young victims depicted.
Strike Force Parker was established by New South Wales Police early last year after a Zoom room comprising more than 500 alleged pedophiles was uncovered.
The Child Exploitation Internet Unit led an international effort to unmask those who met regularly to view broadcast vision and images, teaming up with the Australian Federal Police and forces in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia, as well as the FBI in the United States.
An administrator tightly controlled access to the meeting room, which was accessed via a closely guarded link, Detective Chief Inspector Adam Powderly, who manages the CEIU, recalled.
“There were a number of rules to (follow) to get in, like showing your face, being naked, being male … but we managed to infiltrate that group,” Mr Powderly told news.com.au.
**SNIP**
Strike Force Parker saw a covert operative lurk in the background of the Zoom meetings to capture the faces and corresponding usernames of hundreds of alleged pedophiles. Then, IP addresses were traced to geographically locate the men.
The detective who infiltrated the group, which saw him confronted with horrifying images and vision of children being abused and exploited – some of them babies – received the Rotary Police Officer of the Year award.
Ten offenders across Australia, but mainly in New South Wales, were arrested on 73 charges.
In addition, Strike Force Packer identified 295 offenders in the United States and 213 more elsewhere internationally.

Biden is already free.
One can’t help but wonder how many are elected politicians.
Lust for power over people is a first cousin to lust for power over children.
LOL 😂
Zoom meetings probably aren’t the most safe thing to do for illegal activity.
What a horrible title that makes it sound like a pedophile ring was led by cops.
Go check out the blue-dot maps in CaCaLand. Convicted pedos are right next door.
Proverbial “can’t swing a dead cat”.
