DETAILS of dozens of would-be Australian sex predators have been provided to Interpol by a Dutch children's rights group, which offered online sex with a computer-generated image of a virtual 10-year-old Filipina girl named Sweetie.
Terre des Hommes Netherlands claims to have identified more than 1000 adults around the world using their virtual girl, who was deployed in internet chat rooms from an Amsterdam premises.
Within 10 weeks, the group was able to identify hundreds of people willing to pay children to perform sexual acts in front of the webcam.
Among that number are 46 Australians, whose details are in the hands of international authorities.
The group said it wanted to raise the alarm about the phenomenon of webcam child sex tourism, which is believed to have tens of thousands of victims in the Philippines.
As part of the sting, while predators were chatting online with Sweetie, researchers gathered information about them through social media.
Using that information, researchers identified the adults and passed the information to police.
"They come from all over the world - from America, Europe but also from countries like India, Japan, Korea," said Hans Guyt, the director of campaigns at Terre des Hommes Netherlands.
More than 50 Canadians were also identified, as well as 254 in the United States, 110 in Britain and 44 in Germany.
Terre des Hommes said it waited for people to approach Sweetie via the internet and offer to pay for lewd services.
"To put yourself in the shoes of a 10-year-old Filipina girl and seeing what some men want from you has been a shocking experience," Guyt said.
Despite the fact webcam child sex tourism is banned by most national and international laws, Terre des Hommes say only six people worldwide have been convicted of the crime.
"The biggest problem is that the police don't take action until child victims file reports, but children almost never report these crimes," Guyt said.
Filipina child victims of webcam child sex tourism that Terre des Hommes has interviewed report that most predators who pay them for webcam performances are from Australia, Europe and North America.
Former barrister Dominic Patrick Hickey, 49, was jailed this year for five years by a Victorian court for paying for Filipina girls as young as seven to be sexually abused by males while he watched via a webcam.
