An online pornography ring targeting thousands of Australian schoolgirls has re-emerged after police had closed it down earlier this month. Police and detectives in several states are investigating a website containing sexual images of girls from private and public schools across Australia. The website is in the form of a ‘message chat forum’ and has photos and requests of naked schoolgirls. Seventy Australian schools are mentioned in the requests. Detective Acting Superintendent Marcus Boorman said a number of the images allegedly depict non-consenting or underage girls. The page reportedly features naked photos of teenage girls, some with their names, so that others can rate them. NSW, Queensland, Victoria and ACT police are investigating - as are a number of education departments. However, it is difficult for law enforcement agencies to keep track of online sites, especially those hosted overseas. See also Australian Prayer Network.
