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
- Police have sought to confiscate his house
- The man is not accused of profiting from the crimes
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.
It is the first time the AFP has seized the home of an alleged child sex offender.
They have done so under laws used to restrain and then confiscate the homes, goods and cash of outlaw motorcycle gangs, serious organised crime syndicates and drug dealers.
The man is not accused of profiting from his crimes.
