They allege the man is a member of several online chat groups where illegal content was discussed and disseminated.

“Owning this material is not without victims and only encourages further distribution and creation of more damaging content,” stated AFP Detective Superintendent Matthew Byles.

“Everything online can be traced, and you cannot remain anonymous behind your computer screens forever.”

Detectives executed a search warrant at a home in Holsworthy and arrested the 25-year-old.

He was charged with possessing violent extremist material and possessing child abuse material.
