More than 40 Australian men have been charged for possessing and sharing child sex abuse material, after a massive police operation.
The operation also saw 16 children safely removed from danger.
Federal police revealed on Friday 350 charges in total have been filed against 44 men across almost every state for sharing the material via a cloud storage system.
The system is alleged to be used by thousands of sex offenders globally - some of the Australian men are accused of producing their own "abhorrent" material.
Aged between 19 and 57 the men were employed across a range of industries including construction, law enforcement and hospitality, reports 7 News.
Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Reece Kershaw said officers worked tirelessly to rescue the children involved.
"Pixel by pixel, our investigators painstakingly look for clues and never give up and the tools they use give Australian police access to world-leading expertise," he is quoted as saying.
The AFP said its Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation has intercepted more than 250,000 child abuse material files online in the last 12 months.
In the last year 134 children - including 67 in Australia - were removed from harm.
