A man police allege was one of the "biggest self-producers of online bestiality content" in New South Wales has been arrested.
Earlier this year detectives in the sex crime squad carried out raids in the greater Sydney area as part of the Strike Force Trawler investigation, which was looking into the sexual abuse and exploitation of children through the internet and communication devices.
The raids led them to the online profile of a user going by the name "Beast Boy".
"Further enquiries identified ‘Beast Boy’ had a large online presence and used encrypted messaging apps to allegedly share bestiality material, which featured the sexual abuse of various animals such as dogs, sheep, goats, chickens and a dead kangaroo," NSW police said in a statement.
Yesterday police raided a property in Moorland, 270km northeast from Sydney, and arrested a 38-year-old man.
A dog identified as having been abused was seized by the RSPCA.
The man was charged with eight counts of bestiality; six counts of producing bestiality material; four counts of disseminating bestiality material; possessing child abuse material; and using a carriage service to access and solicit child abuse material.
Further charges were expected.
