NSW police say they have uncovered an “international satanic child sex abuse material ring” and charged four Australians for their alleged involvement.

Detectives from the sex crimes squad said that as part of Strike Force Constantine, an investigation into the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic or satanic themes, they disrupted a Sydney-based network.

In a statement, police alleged the network was actively involved in possessing, distributing and facilitating this material through a website that was “administered internationally”.

Detectives, accompanied by the riot squad, carried out six search warrants in Waterloo, Ultimo and Malabar on Thursday morning last week.
