A woman has been sentenced to a decade in prison by the Perth District Court for sexually abusing three minors and distributing videos of these acts online.

The 24-year-old received her sentencing this week after entering a guilty plea earlier in the month.

She will have the possibility of parole after serving eight years of her sentence.

The Western Australia Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (WA JACET), which includes members from the Australian Federal Police and the Western Australia Police Force, arrested the woman in July 2024.

WA JACET tracked her down following a tip-off from the U.S. National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, which reported a user uploading child exploitation material on social media.

Subsequently, she faced additional charges.

AFP Acting Commander Murray Taylor thanked the dedication and resolve of WA JACET investigators after three child victims were identified and removed from harm.

”The investigators reviewed videos and images of the horrific crimes to check if they could identify and help any of the young victims,” he said.

“Our officers come to work every day to make a difference to children’s lives, and this outcome should send a clear warning that the AFP, WAPF and other partners are committed to protecting children and identifying and prosecuting anyone involved in their harm.”

“This outcome reflects our unwavering commitment to pursuing and bringing to justice those who exploit children,” WA Police Sex Crime Division Acting Superintendent David Palmer said.

The woman pleaded guilty to 14 Commonwealth offences and 12 state-based offences.
