SYDNEY, July 3, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Police in Australia have described as "depraved" the case of a six-year-old boy who was sexually abused by his adoptive homosexual "fathers" and other men who were part of an international child-porn syndicate known as the Boy Lovers network.
Authorities in Australia and the US worked together to bring the men to justice after it emerged that the boy had been offered to men in Australia, the US, France and Germany for sexual exploitation and the production of child pornography from a very young age.
Last week one of the men, an American named Mark J. Newton, 42, was jailed in the U.S. for 40 years and ordered to pay $400,000 in restitution to the child, while the other, Peter Truong, 36, from New Zealand, awaits sentencing in his home country.
"None of these cases are very good," Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, who heads Australia’s Queensland Police Taskforce Argos, which investigates online child exploitation and abuse, told the AFP news agency.
"What's pretty sad about this one is the way this child came into their lives. It's just really a tragedy. It's extremely depraved."
According to reports, Newton and Truong, living in Cairns, Australia at the time, began looking for a surrogate mother to give birth to a child in 2002.
The same-sex couple finally found a woman in Russia who gave birth to their child for a fee of $8,000. Mark Newton is believed to be the biological father of the boy, dubbed "Adam" in order to protect his identity.
Adam was handed over to Newton and Truong five days after his birth in 2005.
Australian media covered Adam's arrival home, describing the two men as happy, loving fathers.
On July 14, 2010, when Adam was 5 years old, ABC Far North Queensland broadcast a story titled "Two dads are better than one" which stated that "becoming parents was hard work for gay couple Pete and Mark, but they'd do it all over again if they had to.”
"We decided that we would have a child, that it was time for us to have a family," Newton and Truong told ABC. "We wanted to experience the joys of fatherhood."
"It's a happy, relaxed family," ABC said, "but it wasn't an easy road to get there. After many hurdles, [Adam] was born by surrogacy in Russia."
Russian news service RT Novosti reported that Adam began to be sexually abused by his same-sex ‘dads’ when he was 22 months old.
"Later on," RT Novosti reported, "they made Adam available for sex with other members of the pedophile ring in Australia, France, Germany and the US, for which Newton and Truong had to travel extensively. Police investigators have found proof of at least eight men in these countries having contact with Adam when he was between the ages of two and six."
Two other men, American residents John R Powell, 41, a Florida-based lawyer, and Jason Bettuo, a 36-year-old Michigan tennis coach, have also been charged, according to Australia's Channel 7 News.
Police began the investigation that led to the arrests after a chance discovery of suspicious images during a raid on the home of a child sex offender in Wellington, NZ.
Australian police said the images themselves were not illegal, but were recognized as "modelling shots."
Further investigations unearthed chat logs between Newton and Truong and other members of the Boy Lovers network.
When police raided the homosexual couple's home in Cairns they found enough evidence on computers and other video devices to ensure their arrest. Adam was removed and placed in foster care.
At his sentencing hearing, held in District Court in Indianapolis, Newton told the court that, "being a father was an honor and a privilege that amounted to the best six years of my life," according to the NY Daily News.
US District Judge Sarah Evans Barker responded, "Words don't help ... What can be said? What can be done to erase some of the horror of this?"
Judge Barker added that she felt Newton deserved a more severe sentence but that he was tried at district court level to save a jury from having to look at the images produced by the defendants.
"These men submitted this young child to some of the most heinous acts of exploitation that this office has ever seen," said Indiana U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett, after the hearing.
Russian Ombudsman for Children’s Rights, Pavel Astakhov, told RT Novosti that the Russian government is tightening up adoption laws to prevent another case like Adam's.
“Russian orphans always attracted foreign perverts because of accessibility. The foreigners were simply coming and taking children for money,” Astakhov said.
In December 2012, Russia passed the ‘Dima Yakovlev Law’ that banned American citizens from adopting Russian children.
In June 2013, the state Duma passed an amendment that bans the adoption of Russian children by same-sex couples from abroad and forbids single people who are citizens or permanent residents of countries that allow same sex "marriage" to become adoptive parents or legal guardians of Russian children.
Russia itself does not allow same sex "marriage" and the country’s authorities have passed a number of regional and federal bills banning the promotion of homosexual and other sexual aberrations to children.
It was not named “Queensland” for nothing.
Liberals WANT this. Meaning the democratic party.
If they can say that stopping abortion will lead to back alley, coat hanger abortions, then yes, we can use this to show the wages of homosexual marriage and adoption.
Homosexuals are sexually depraved. They are PERVERTS. That they would rape a small boy entrusted in their care should not surprise us.
In America and the West, IF you don’t get aborted by your mother, you can now face pedophilia homosexual “Dads”.
Come, Sweet Jesus, and Alas, the Great Babylon! In one hour, your doom is met.
Multiply this case by tens - if not hundreds - of thousands. That’s where we’re going.
Expect to start hearing a lot more of this trash. They are pushing to end age limitations so they can legally rape your children. We will be hearing how it is so unfair to jail these peaceful homo’s. They are just loving their children after all./sarc.
Faggots be faggots.
And unfortunately these young boys will grow up thinking that its OK to have sex with other men..this is how the cycle of homosexuality is made..and this is why gay men love adopting little boys, to have them as their own little sexual playmates
Notice, however, it is the North American Man-Boy Live Association, not the North American Adult-Child Association. I wonder how much these pimps were charging for access to this poor child. I’ll just bet the six years of “raising” this boy were the happiest of his father’s life. Therein lies the problem. They enjoyed every minute of what they did and do not see it as wrong in any way. Love is love, after all.
This happened in our country several years ago. I believe one of the pervs was an employee of Duke University.

Add BOR on Fox. He used to be a big advocate of this kind of stuff, back when I watched him.
Perverts perverting their perverted marriage.
Big surprise?
As if this made sense to begin with...
I’m shocked yet not surprised. Disgusting to even contemplate.
Deuteronomy 28
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Amen.
this is what the push for homo marriage is all about...paving the way for a man and his child bride.
This makes me crazy. It is NOT normal behavior.
This story ought to be faxed to EVERY newsroom in America. If only 5% of them report it, it’ll make a difference.
Thanks NYer.
During the five-hour assault that began around midnight in the couple’s bedroom, Brown, acting on written instructions from Carpenter, bound the seventh-grader with nylon rope, placed a T-shirt blindfold over his head, and gagged his mouth with a pair of dirty underwear secured by a bandana and duct tape.
After propping pillows beneath Dirkhising’s abdomen, Brown sodomized him with three fingers, his penis, a frozen banana, and a urine enema laced with the sedative drug amitryptiline while Carpenter watched, masturbating, in the bedroom doorway.
Midway through the assault, Carpenter went to an all-night grocery store to purchase additional rape implements. A receipt later found by police, time-stamped 3:07 a.m., showed “Eckrich” sausage, cucumbers, “tape” and “deli” sandwiches.
Upon Carpenter’s return from the store, Brown continued sodomizing Jesse with the sausage and cucumber, using Vaseline. He then left the room to eat a sandwich. When he returned, the boy was no longer breathing. Frantic, he woke Carpenter who by that time had fallen asleep on the living room sofa.
After the men attempted unsuccessfully to administer CPR, Carpenter called 911. When police arrived at the apartment, they found Dirkhising naked and near death on the bedroom floor. His face was blue, there was blood in his mouth, and his body was smeared with feces.
