A 30-year-old man who allegedly posed as a teenage boy to lure young girls into sending him child exploitation material has been arrested at the airport as he attempted to return to Australia.
Police believe the man pretended to be a 14-year-old boy so he could lure numerous female children into sending him child exploitation material online.He is also accused of attempting to meet with at least one of the children for sex.
Task Force Argos detectives, responsible for investigating online child abuse, made the arrest after a search of a property in Springfield, Ipswich, in March, where equipment was seized and examined. The man appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday, and is due back in the same court on Monday.
