A child sex offender who calls herself ‘Leader of The Pack’ has been accused of running a child abuse ring from inside a NSW prison.
Jessica Isabelle Rose, formerly known as Dean Angus Bell, was arrested at Junee Correctional Centre on Tuesday following a four-month investigation into the production and sharing of child abuse material by inmates.
The 31-year-old was charged with eight counts of producing child abuse material, eight counts of disseminating child abuse material, and knowingly or recklessly directing a criminal group.
Investigators uncovered a group called ‘The Pack’ who allegedly shared letters detailing real-life experiences abusing children, along with plans to commit further crimes upon release.
Police allege murder was mentioned in one of the letters.
NSW Police allege Ms Rose directed the group from her prison cell, writing letters detailing child abuse before sending them to other inmates.
More arrests are expected as police continue to investigate the size of the paedophile ring.
She appeared in Wagga Wagga Local Court on Tuesday.
No bail application was made but it was formally refused.
Her matter will return to court in October.
