Finaaly they do something.
Almost 100 people in the United States and Australia have so far been arrested over child sexual abuse allegations after the fatal shooting of two FBI agents led to the unraveling of a suspected international pedophile ring, officials announced Tuesday.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said that 19 men had been arrested on charges of sharing child abuse material online, while at least 13 children were rescued from further harm as a result of a joint operation with the FBI, dubbed “Operation Bakis.”
The development brought the total number of people arrested as part of the joint probe up to 98, with at least 79 arrests so far carried out by the FBI, according to the Australian agency.
The joint investigation began after the two FBI agents investigating the alleged pedophile ring were fatally shot in 2021 while executing a search warrant in Sunrise, Florida, for a man suspected of being in possession of child abuse material, the agency noted in a news release.
Special Agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were fatally shot and three other agents were wounded, while the gunman, David Lee Huber, 55, was also killed

FBI agents’ murders lead police in Australia to rescue 13 children from alleged paedophile ring
Commander Helen Schneider from the AFP estimated that some alleged offenders had “potentially been committing offences over 10 years”.
“The longer people like this avoid detention, the longer the cycle of abuse continues,” she said.
The AFP said most of the alleged Australian offenders “were employed in occupations that required a high degree of ICT knowledge”.
“Members used software to anonymously share files, chat on message boards and access websites within the network,” the AFP said in a statement.
