Young girl rescued from online sexual abuse

A five-year-old Filipino girl was rescued from online sexual abuse after the arrest of an Australian man instigated the case.

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).

The man was suspected to have abused the young girl via online video chat. He is currently before the court in Australia in relation to child exploitation related offenses.

The 5-year-old girl was rescued, the pair suspected of abusing her in front of the camera were arrested as well. There was evidence the pair may have abused other children, and the National Bureau of Investigations (NBI) is verifying the location and identities of the victims so they may move forward with their rescue as well.
