85 South Australian Children Saved from Sexual Abuse: Investigation

Thanks to over 500 investigation, the children are safe now. Since its establishment in 2015, Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team (JACET) had conducted about 508 investigation throughout Australia, a joint operation with Australian local force and federal police. The investigation saved about 85 South Australian children from the menacing child abuse misconducted by those pedophiles.

The team was established to tackle the menacing child abuse both online and offline, throughout the Oceania continent.

The investigation bore its first fruit in April, where Operation Blackwrist 2017 managed to arrest Ruecha Tokputza (31), a Thai menacing pedophile who was then charged with 50 charges of 11 underage child abuses and harassments to 40 years and three months of imprisonment, the longest sentence ever given to one child abuser.

The 31 year old Thai pedophile was deluded by his own love concept, asserting that the boys and children that he abused all loved his treatment, and the abuses were his action of love. Frankly saying, it is disgusting.

Tokputza’s case came to light when a video of his abuse was distributed through a secured network in Bulgaria in November 2017. After being tracked down, it was based in Adelaide.

A joint investigation with Bangkok Interpol in the same month managed to apprehend one of the perpetrators, Montri Salangam, who was found abusing 11 boys, one of them was his own nephew! In addition, there was a preschool teacher who was apprehended on scene. The teacher turned out to be his partner in crime.

The devices found at Salangam’s house was enough to be evidence to sentence Salangam and Tokputza guilty. The devices contained about 900,000 files (videos, images, and voice recordings) of either Salangam or Tokputza with their victims, tabulated Sergeant Stephen Hegarty who had to go through these 900,000 files in order to prove both Salangam & Tokputza guilty.

Montri Salangam was then charged to a lifetime imprisonment (135 years). While, the anonymous preschool teacher was sentenced only to 36 years.

In January, JACET managed to bring back 11 children from the evil clutch of the Thai pedophile.

Prior to sentencing Tokputza in May, Judge Liesl Chapman could not contain her anger toward Tokputza. “You are the worst nightmare of every children and every parent,” asserted she. With Tokputza behind bars, 50 children were saved from the paedophile.

The second longest sentence for a single child abuser was found in 2015, Shannon McCoole with 35 years imprisonment.

However, JACET’s work is not done there. Thanks to their investigation, about 50 victims and 100 children escaped the sexual abuse from 60 countries worldwide.
