Operation Molto police child abuse swoop rescues 51 children and arrests 100 alleged paedophiles

FIFTY-ONE children are rescued from harm’s way and more than 100 Aussies hit with child abuse-related charges in extraordinary years-long police operation


Australian police have swooped to free 51 children from the hands of more than 100 alleged evil paedophiles in a massive international operation. 

Addresses across the country were raided as part of Operation Molto to arrest 117 people and allegedly rescue 51 children from their clutches.

Law enforcement officers, construction workers and truckies were among those caught in the web, according to Australian Federal Police. Ages ranged from 18 to 61.

The Australian arrests were part of the global Operation H which saw a total of 153 children being removed from harm, including 79 in the United Kingdom, 12 in Canada, six in New Zealand, four in the United States and one child in Europe.
