Australian youths charged as police swoop on alleged ‘crimefluencers’

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT A former Scots College student from Sydney and two teenagers, including one from Queensland, have been charged following Australian Federal Police investigations into nihilistic extremist groups which trade in depraved online material including imagery of children carving messages into their bodies. New AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett used her first major speech on Wednesday to warn that loosely affiliated groups, which she described as “crimefluencers”, are operating in Australia and targeting young people. “Perpetrators reach a status or new level in their group when they provide more content showing more extreme acts of depravity and sadism,” Barrett told the National Press Club. “And in some cases, perpetrators trade their victims with each other just like an online game.”
