Alleged Adelaide paedophile’s house seized by AFP ahead of criminal and civil trials
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have seized the home of an alleged paedophile in an Australian first.
Key points:
- An Adelaide man was charged with several offences earlier this year

The AFP alleges the man was ordering and instructing child sexual abuse happening in South-East Asia, and watched it online from the Adelaide property.

The man is not accused of profiting from his crimes.
