By Sarah Keszler

Australian detectives have assisted in the arrest of seven alleged child sex offenders across five countries, and helped in the rescue of a three-year-old child from the home of an alleged abuser.

Sex Crimes Squad detectives from NSW have helped to disrupt a series of alleged offshore online child-abuse networks in Uruguay, England, Poland, Mexico and the United States between April and August this year.

Strike Force Constantine and Strike Force Trawler, which investigate the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic or satanic themes as well as broader online child-exploitation, helped to identify the alleged offenders.
