A southern suburbs man has been arrested today for online child sex offences.
On Tuesday 21 October 2025, investigators from SA JACET, a joint task between SAPOL's Public Protection Branch and the Australian Federal Police (AFP), attended and conducted a search of a southern suburbs home. Electronic devices have been seized for forensic analysis.
A 27-year-old man was arrested and charged with possessing child exploitation material. He was refused police bail and is expected to face the Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
"Child exploitation material in any form is a serious offence, the SA JACET remain committed to protecting children by identifying, removing and prosecuting those who produce, share or possess this abhorrent material," said Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Smith, JACET Investigations Manager.
