A West Australian man has been sentenced to 18 months of good behaviour by the District Court of Western Australia after being found guilty of importing a child-like sex doll/">doll and accessing child abuse material. The sentencing comes as a result of an extensive investigation conducted by the Australian Border Force (ABF) and the Western Australia Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET), a joint task force comprising the ABF and Australian Federal Police (AFP).
The ABF launched investigations into the man after seizing a child-like sex doll that had been sent through the international air cargo stream in early 2021. Following this discovery, officers executed a search warrant at the man’s residence in Fremantle, where they located a number of electronic devices suspected to contain child abuse material.
