Two men have been charged and two others are subject to further investigation following a targeted operation by the Tasmanian Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET).
JACET officers from Tasmania Police and the Australian Federal Police, executed five search warrants across the north and north-west of Tasmania last week.
During the operation, police located and examined over 200 digital devices, seizing 20 for detailed forensic analysis.
As a result, two men were arrested and charged with child exploitation offences. The 24-year-old from Newnham and 23-year-old from Perth will appear in court at a later date.
Online child abuse is a serious crime type. Tasmania Police, with the support of its partners, is committed to interrupting these crimes and keeping our children safe.
