Almost 100 people in the United States and Australia have so far been
arrested over child sexual abuse allegations after the fatal shooting of
two FBI agents led to the unraveling of a suspected international
pedophile ring, officials announced Tuesday.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said that 19 men had been arrested on
charges of sharing child abuse material online, while at least 13 children
were rescued from further harm as a result of a joint operation with the
FBI, dubbed "Operation Bakis."

The development brought the total number of people arrested as part of the
joint probe up to 98, with at least 79 arrests so far carried out by the
FBI, according to the Australian agency.

The joint investigation began after the two FBI agents investigating the
alleged pedophile ring were fatally shot in 2021 while executing a search
warrant in Sunrise, Florida, for a man suspected of being in possession of
child abuse material, the agency noted in a news release.

Special Agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were fatally shot
and three other agents were wounded, while the gunman, David Lee Huber,
55, was also killed, NBC News previously reported.

The Australian agency said the coordinated probe was formally launched in
2022 after the FBI provided the Australian Centre to Counter Child
Exploitation with intelligence about Australian individuals suspected of
being part of a "peer-to-peer network allegedly sharing child abuse
material on the dark web."

The Australian suspects are between the ages of 32 to 81 years old, the
federal police agency said. So far, two have been sentenced, it said.

Most of the Australian suspects were employed in occupations that required
a high degree of knowledge on internet networks, the agency said.

"Members used software to anonymously share files, chat on message boards
and access websites within the network," it said.

Some were also accused of having produced their own child abuse material
to share with members of the network, the agency said.

�Viewing, distributing or producing child abuse material is a horrific
crime, and the lengths that these alleged offenders went to in order to
avoid detection makes them especially dangerous � the longer they avoid
detection the longer they can perpetuate the cycle of abuse," Australian
Federal Police Commander Helen Schneider said in a statement.

�The success of Operation Bakis demonstrates the importance of
partnerships for law enforcement, at a national level here in Australia,
but also at an international level," she said.

�We are proud of our longstanding relationship with the Australian Federal
Police resulting in 19 Australian men facing criminal prosecution as a
result of our collaborative investigation," FBI legal attach� Nitiana Mann
said in a separate statement.

�The complexity and anonymity of these platforms means that no agency or
country can fight these threats alone," Mann said. �As we continue to
build bridges through collaboration and teamwork, we can ensure the good
guys win and the bad guys lose.�

She said that 43 people had been convicted of child abuse offenses in the
U.S. as part of the investigation, according to The Associated Press.

The FBI had also alerted other countries to suspects within their
jurisdictions, Mann said according to the AP, but did not name those
countries.
