Destiny Rescue’s team in the Philippines was asked to assist on the logistics of a case dealing with the online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) that was referred to Filipino authorities by the Australian Federal Police following the arrest of an Australian man found to be in possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
