A yellow curtain and black fireplace may hold the key to cracking cold cases into child exploitation and abuse, while victims go unreported.
The Australian Federal Police has released new images giving the public a glimpse into the rooms where child sex abuse is perpetrated, in the hope it will lead to identification of the abused children.The AFP believes the children in the cases are now adults.In four images, the AFP's victim identification specialists have released photos of two rooms, with distinctive curtains, wall paint, a bed frame, and a fireplace.
Acting Assistant Commissioner for the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation , Helen Schneider said finding the children abused in the rooms had proven to be like finding a "needle in a haystack"."We believe the child victims in these matters are now adults but we accept that the trauma of this kind of offending does not fade away," she said.
"Victim identification specialists have the painstaking task of going through images and videos frame-by-frame to identify anything that helps with the origin, location or the identity of a victim.” The screenshots are from videos found on the dark web that the AFP has confirmed took place in Australia.
