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.
Members of the public who have information about people involved in child abuse and exploitation are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or on 1800 333 000 or online at www.accce.gov.au/report. You can remain anonymous.
If you know abuse is happening right now or a child is at risk, call police immediately on Triple Zero (000).
