The Australian Federal Police Commander\u200d Helen Schneider emphasized the severity of their crimes, stating, &#8220;Viewing, distributing, or producing child abuse material is a horrific crime, and \u200dthe lengths that these alleged offenders went to in order to \u200bavoid detection makes them especially dangerous \u2014 the longer they avoid detection, the longer they can perpetuate the cycle of abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FBI Legal Attach\u00e9 Nitiana Mann acknowledged the effectiveness of international collaboration \u200bin combating such threats.
