Crime by Jack Paynter 11th Feb 2021 10:23 AM Nine children, including some as young as two years old, have been rescued from alleged child exploitation in the Philippines after a tip-off from Australian Federal Police. The tip-off came after a Victorian man was charged for allegedly paying for live-distance child exploitation in November 2019. The children, aged between two and 16 years old, were removed from harm last week after the AFP alerted the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Centre (PICACC). Philippine National Police launched an operation on February 3, 2021, in Angeles City, north of the capital Manila, that led to the arrest of a 42-year-old woman for her alleged role as the facilitator of online child sexual abuse.
