Millions of files being reviewed to identify victims of child sexual abuse

AFP and state police identification specialists are reviewing almost 4 million files seized from alleged sex offenders in a bid to identify and rescue children.

The intensive and meticulous process, which began at the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) in November 2021, is being steered by the ACCCE, AFP, Queensland Police Service and South Australia Police.

The 3.75 million files were among the collections of child abuse offenders, seized by investigators during search warrants carried out as part of child protection investigations.

Some of the content is described by investigators as “horrific”.

Of the 3.75 million files analysed, almost 5000 child abuse files were identified and uploaded to the INTERPOL International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database, resulting in the addition of 40 new series of child abuse victims to the law enforcement database.

The material was referred to law enforcement agencies in 13 countries.

These additions will alert law enforcement in the 64 ICSE-connected countries to the new material and facilitate global collaboration, focused on identifying those children in the images, wherever they are in the world.

Child protection investigators are warning of an increasing number of children worldwide being coerced into sexual acts by online offenders.

ACCCE victim identification specialist Detective Sergeant Svetlana Palmer said the vast majority of the 5000 files uploaded to ICSE were self-produced by children.

“We are no longer seeing child abuse material only being produced by offenders with direct access to children,” Detective Sergeant Palmer said.

“Child victims are increasingly producing child abuse material themselves and in some instances being extorted to produce more.

“Self-produced child abuse material is preventable, but to stop it we need parents and guardians to have open and honest conversations with their kids about the very real dangers that exist online.

“Children need to know that help is available and by reporting what has happened to the police, they can help us to catch an offender and prevent other children being harmed.”

Capping is the coercion of children into sexual acts that are captured on camera and is a growing form of online child sexual abuse, with children being preyed on across all social media and video streaming platforms.

Many child victims initially believe they are interacting with a boy or girl of a similar age and may share explicit material, not realising their intimate acts are being recorded and circulated online, making them victims of child sexual exploitation.

Nancy Pelosi’s Son Implicated in Sixth FBI Probe – Accused of Bribing San Francisco Officials to Remove Permit Violations at Ex-Girlfriend’s Property

Earlier this month it was reported Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi, was involved with five companies that were probed by federal agencies.

According to The Daily Mail, the list of companies includes the following:

The 52-year-old joined the board of a biofuel company after it defrauded investors according to an SEC ruling, and whose CEO was convicted after bribing Georgia officials

Pelosi Jr. was president of an environmental investment firm that turned out to be a front for two convicted fraudsters

He joined a lithium mining company and received millions of shares, allegedly issued as part of a massive $164 million fraud

He was vice president of a company previously embroiled in an investigation of scam calls that targeted senior citizens

He has close business ties with a man accused by the Department of Justice of running a fake UN charity that stole investors’ money

A medical company Pelosi Jr. worked for tested drugs on people without FDA authorization, according to an FDA investigation

On Friday, the Daily Mail revealed Paul Pelosi is actually embroiled in SIX FBI probes.

The latest FBI probe involves Paul Pelosi and San Francisco officials he bribed to “take care of” violations at “The Pit,” a rundown hotel owned by his (now ex) girlfriend, Karena Feng.

City permit expeditor Rodrigo Santos was indicted in November in an alleged bribery and fraud scheme.

Mr. Santos allegedly told his clients to ‘donate’ thousands of dollars to the building inspector’s Rugby Club in exchange for city permits

It is believed Paul Pelosi is referred to as “Client-9” in the charging documents as an individual working on behalf of the property owner.

“Client-9” wrote a $1,500 check to the Rugby Club, according to the charging documents.

Mission Local reported:

An inspector at the Department of Building Inspection says that Paul Pelosi, Jr. asked him to “take care of” violations at “The Pit,” a squalid Mission District residential hotel at 1312 Utah St.

This is the same building at which federal charging documents recount the unnamed “Client-9” participating in an alleged bribery scheme in 2017 with indicted permit expediter Rodrigo Santos and former senior inspector Bernie Curran to ameliorate violations in which mandated fixes were never made.

“Client-9” is described in federal documents as “an individual working on behalf of the owners of the property.” This was how Pelosi represented himself to DBI employees in 2018 while attempting to mitigate the so-called Pit’s myriad issues. And, a building inspector now tells Mission Local, it’s how Pelosi represented himself when attempting to personally enlist him to do away with persistent violations on the property.

Following the inspector’s advice would involve actually fixing the problems. The solution “Client-9” hit upon — purportedly bribing Curran at Santos’ urging — would seem to be faster and cheaper than actually spending money to remedy violations. The violation Curran signed off on was, in fact, never fixed.
