Trigger warning, take the headline at face value, it only gets much much worse.

1600 before he's caught seems like the authorities share some responsibility for not catching this guy

Well i mean not the first time agencies have been complicit in trafficking or endangering youths.

But the only way they found him was bc he was sharing CSAM online around 2013and the authorities were able to identify objects in the background that resembled his workplace. He was also reported in the past which eventually led them to search his house after the videos signaled it was him.

Still though, very fuked. And weird how there were no real follow-ups for like, what? Almost 10 years?

Opinion: Did not think this would ever be a headline. Why keep this level of pure evil alive at great expense and continued suffering to victims and society at large. Even the horrendous duty of police having to trawl through so much material is unthinkable.

Life imprisonment is actually cheaper than the death penalty, all things considered. See e.g. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs

Also more of a punishment, they don't like Rock Spiders/Pedophiles in Australian prisons anymore than they do in US prisons.

Or you can get free labor out of them like in America, try that first with the pedos!

/s but not really. Throw the book at all convicted pedos. One of the few cases i think a death penalty is excusable. When they for sure shouldn't be re-integrated into society. Utilitarianism. We're better off with this monster dead imo.

His fellow prisoners will make his short life torturous don't worry about that.
