BREAKING: SYDNEY MAN FACES 20 MORE CHARGES JUST DAYS AFTER BAIL WAS REVOKED! – A MAN ACCUSED OF RUNNING AN ALLEGED SATANIC P*EDOPHILE NETWORK HAS BEEN HIT WITH ANOTHER 20 CHARGES AS THE HIGH-PROFILE CASE CONTINUES TO GROW.
A self-described ‘investigative journalist’ accused of running a global satanic child abuse ring has been charged with more serious offences after being re-arrested days after he was granted bail.
Landon Ashton Versace Germanotta-Mills, 27, is the alleged ringleader of a Sydney-based paedophile network that police allege traded thousands of ‘abhorrent’ images and videos depicting babies and children aged up to 12.
Following his arrest in November, Germanotta-Mills was remanded in custody and charged with child abuse material offences.
The charges included multiple counts of using a carriage service to possess and make available child abuse material.
He was also charged with two counts of disseminating bestiality material and possessing bestiality material.
Germanotta-Mills was granted bail in late April to live with his mother in regional NSW but was arrested days later after allegedly failing to comply with the conditions.
Last week, he was charged with 20 additional child abuse material and bestiality material offences, bringing the total number of charges he faces to 39.
Germanotta-Mills founded the Underground Media Network, an outlet described as an ‘independent Australian investigative journalism platform committed to exposing institutional failures and the misuse of power’.

According to the Underground Media Network’s website, the outlet investigates issues including police corruption and child protection.
The charges follow the establishment of NSW Police Strike Force Constantine to investigate the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic or satanic themes.
In November, detectives uncovered a paedophile network in Sydney that was allegedly involved in possessing, distributing and facilitating child abuse material through a ‘website administered internationally’.
Later that month, detectives, along with the riot squad, executed six search warrants in Waterloo, Ultimo and Malabar before arresting four men, including Germanotta-Mills.
In January, former NSW police officer David Turner was arrested in connection with the alleged ring and charged with five offences relating to making and accessing child abuse material, possessing bestiality material and possessing a prohibited drug.
It is understood investigators will allege the offences occurred after Turner decided to leave the NSW Police Force.
Germanotta-Mills and his co-accused have not entered pleas to the charges.
