Australian authorities have charged a man, 41, from Adelaide’s northern suburbs with allegedly possessing child abuse material, multiple firearms offences, and for allegedly importing a child-like sex abuse doll.

Ecommerce platform Shopee was recently exposed for selling child sex abuse dolls, some even in school uniform. 

Update from petition starter Anna Cordell

E-commerce giant Etsy appears to have blocked search terms related to child sex abuse dolls. 

Collective Shout have been campaigning to have child sex abuse dolls removed from online platforms such as Etsy, Twitter and Alibaba. As in the case below, many in possession of the prohibited child abuse dolls are also found to have other child abuse material in their possession.

Broken Hill man arrested and charged following alleged importation of child-like sex doll

A 24-year-old Broken Hill man has been arrested and charged by New South Wales Police after an Australian Border Force (ABF) investigation into an alleged attempt to import a child-like sex doll.

The life-like doll was detected by ABF officers in Sydney, who were examining air cargo at the border.

On 25 May 2023, ABF Investigators and NSW Police executed Customs Act 1901 search and seizure warrants on a premises in Broken Hill, NSW.

During the search, officers located additional prohibited material including a further child-like sex doll along with what is alleged to be child abuse material on a number of mobile phones, laptops and hard drives that were seized as evidence.

Update: 71 accounts now gone from Twitter.

*Content warning*

We are celebrating a big win with more child sex abuse doll promoters being removed from the platform. Collective Shout have been instrumental in bringing these accounts to the attention of Twitter heads who then have fast tracked the process of suspending the accounts. 

Please DM me with a few of the user handles.
