AFP Detective Superintendent Graeme Marshall said the AFP worked closely with its counterparts both domestically and internationally to combat the exploitation and abuse of children.
‘Our common goal is to protect children, wherever they live, and ensure anyone who tries to harm them is identified and brought before the courts.
‘The AFP works tirelessly with the WA Police Force, domestic and international partners to keep children safe and will prosecute anyone who is preying on them.’
