Predators try to hide their 'horrific' crimes. These detectives work to uncover them
PREDATORS may try to hide behind closed doors, targeting vulnerable children in corners of the internet, or committing horrific and life-altering acts against young people they're often trusted with knowing. But behind the scenes and out of the spotlight, operating from discreet locations, the highly-skilled detectives of the NSW Police Child Abuse Squad work tirelessly to expose some of the worst child abuse offenders in the state. The crimes are distressing and privacy is paramount, so the public would not know that in the northern zone alone, detectives in Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Ballina, investigated more than 1300 cases and charged more than 200 offenders last year. The northern zone manager of the NSW Police Force's Child Abuse Squad, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Robinson, sat down with the Newcastle Herald to lift the curtain on the important work his team does. "Child abuse detectives work in the field because they want to help and protect the most vulnerable people in the community, our children," he said. "They're driven to investigate offences against children and hold to account offenders who commit often serious and life-altering offences against children and hold to account offenders ... some of these crimes are horrific." THE Child Abuse Squad is part of the NSW Police Force's State Crime Command. Detectives investigate the most serious offences committed against young people, many under the age of 16. That includes cases of extreme neglect, sexual abuse and serious physical abuse, like head trauma, and other inflicted injuries like bone fractures in babies and young children and cigarette burns. "Reports of child abuse continue to increase year-on-year, which also means an increase in the workload of Child Abuse Squad staff," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said. The confronting and often private nature of the offences may mean the public never hears about them, to protect victims, but that doesn't mean the prevalence of child abuse has to be swept under the carpet. So far this year, more than 50 detectives based in the northern zone, between Lake Macquarie and Tweed Heads and the busiest in the state, are investigating more than 700 child abuse cases and have charged more than 100 people. About 85 per cent of the Child Abuse Squad's work - or more - is investigating child sexual abuse. "Most offenders are known to the child victims and are often family members, neighbours, or associates. Offenders may be adults, but often they can be peers or older children and young people known to the victim," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said. But apps like Instagram, Snapchat and online gaming have opened up new platforms for predators to interact with young people. "Offenders are finding new ways to target children, including children who are not known to them," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said. "Children may believe they're talking to another child when really they're communicating with an adult predator. "Unfortunately, perpetrators continue to target vulnerable children in the community, including those with a disability, those who have an unstable home life, or those residing in out-of-home care. These are offenders are primarily men." The investigations aren't just becoming more plentiful, they're becoming more complex due to these technological developments like artificial intelligence, computers, mobile phones, apps and CCTV. The team continues to upskill as technology revolutionises not only how predators operate, but also the tools investigators have at their disposal. The Newcastle Child Abuse Squad has even charged offenders who have travelled from as far as Sydney, Northern NSW and interstate to meet and engage in sexual activity with children. People convicted of child abuse offences could face jail, be placed on a register and be monitored. "If you commit child abuse offences, whether in person or online, there is a strong likelihood that you will be caught," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson warned. CHILD abuse police undergo specialised training, are assessed psychologically before entry, and have regular assessments while serving on the squad. But, the large number of investigations, the court processes, and the court outcomes, can be stressful. "Child Abuse Squad detectives are caring people who want the best outcome for the children involved. Investigating these types of offences undoubtedly takes a toll on child abuse detectives," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said. He's been a cop for more than 36 years, and has been part of the Child Abuse Squad for seven years. "I've seen a number of good, dedicated, hard-working, caring officers leave the squad and some, unfortunately, the NSW Police," he said. "Although difficult at times, child abuse detectives find this work very rewarding. "I think very highly of all our child abuse investigators and the work they do." Detectives need to review child abuse material and classify images and videos. Sometimes, when an offender has been charged and goes to court, the police officer is the only one who has had to review the material. Not all child abuse cases lead to charges, but detectives have other options to help the children at the centre. They undergo specialist training about how to conduct forensic interviews with children from different backgrounds and work closely with NSW Health and the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ). The Newcastle office has purpose-built interview rooms that are soundproof, have state-of-the-art recording and family rooms. All child abuse victims are treated with the greatest respect," Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said. At work, officers are encouraged to take breaks often and support each other, and outside work, be active, maintain a social and family life, and get involved with community and sporting groups. DETECTIVE Chief Inspector Robinson encouraged anyone who spoke with a child disclosing abuse to be "believing and supportive", take notes if possible, ask open-ended questions and report it. "It takes a lot of courage for a child to disclose they're being abused," he said. He urged parents to speak with children about their online activities and be aware which apps could be used to share their location. He said parents and carers should be aware of who they were bringing into their home if they were starting a new relationship because some predators sought partners just to access children.

Gangs ‘threaten man who bribed gov worker'
A man accused of bribing an Australian Border Force employee with gifts to smuggle in nearly 7kg of cocaine into the country has allegedly been threatened behind bars, sparking concerns he could be killed if released on bail. Cosmo Commisso, 67, allegedly conspired with Australian Border Force (ABF) employee Rita Gargiulo, 51, to get a 6.9kg parcel of cocaine through an ABF examination and into the country. Mr Commisso, alleged to be an organised crime figure in court documents seen by NewsWire, allegedly gave Ms Gargiulo cash, jewellery and designer accessories in exchange for information to get drugs through the border. Ms Gargiulo was allegedly able to search cargo systems and decide if parcels needed to be flagged for examination as part of her role as an ABF supervisor, the Australian Federal Police previously alleged. She and Mr Commisso allegedly used burner phones for 'clandestine' communications over a nine-month period during which it was suggested Mr Commisso gained knowledge of ABF operations, a court was told. Prosecutors on Thursday fought against an application for Mr Commisso's bail, arguing he may fail to front court if released as he may be killed or seriously injured. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) prosecutor Melanie Moss told the court Mr Commisso had already sought protective custody over claims 'all bikie gangs have put a threat against me through my family'. 'I confess, I've not previously heard or considered a concern with respect to an application failing to appear as a result of being hospitalised or killed by others,' Justice Hament Dhanji said. He argued Mr Commisso's safety was at higher risk while in jail, a 'notoriously dangerous place'. '(The) presence of persons in jail to settle grievances or scores is common,' Justice Dhanji said. The court was also told Mr Commisso, who suffers from several health conditions including diabetes, had complained he wasn't receiving access to medications in prison, which Justice Dhanji accepted could cause him anxiety. His health conditions also satisfied Justice Dhanji that he was unlikely to be a flight risk if released. Justice Dhanji noted the charges were 'extremely serious' and would likely result in a significant jail term if Mr Commisso were to be convicted when handing down his decision. He found there was no possible risk of Mr Commisso reoffending in the same way given Ms Gargiulo was also charged, and it was unlikely he'd risk reoffending while on bail. Mr Commisso was ultimately granted bail under a set of extensive and strict conditions, including home detention conditions and requirements preventing him from using or possessing a smartphone or encrypted communication devices including Snapchat and Telegram. He's also been barred from going within 500m of any international point of departure or getting a passport, and he cannot have more than one mobile phone. Rita Gargiulo was also granted bail on Thursday. Supplied. Credit: Supplied He was also required to put up $1.6m in security. Ms Gargiulo was also granted bail on Thursday, the conditions of which also prevent her from going within 500m of any point of international departure. She also had to surrender her passport prior to her release. Both Ms Gargiulo and Mr Commisso have been ordered not to contact each other, nor two other alleged co-offenders Daniel Nuumaalii and Ali Riza Eren. Mr Commisso was charged with import a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, communicating and dealing with information by non-Commonwealth officers, and bribe a Commonwealth public official, while Ms Gargiulo was charged with aid and abet importation commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, commonwealth public official receive bribe, official abuse public office to gain advantage and commonwealth officer disclose information. Mr Nuumaalii, 25, was charged with possess commercial quantity unlawful import: border controlled drug, while Mr Eren, 65, was charged with import commercial quantity of border controlled drug and attempted possess commercial quantity unlawful import: border controlled drug. All four are yet to enter pleas.

Winmar continues bid to co-lead racism class action
AFL great Nicky Winmar is continuing his push to be a co-lead plaintiff in a racism class action against the AFL, saying he wants football to be a safe place for Indigenous players. The Supreme Court of Victoria heard on Thursday that Winmar, the former St Kilda and Western Bulldogs star, wants to take on a more prominent role, joining former North Melbourne star Phil Krakouer in the landmark case against the AFL. Winmar, 59, is already a group member in the case, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander VFL and AFL players are seeking redress for racist abuse suffered in the course of their football careers. They allege injury, loss and damage, claiming the AFL failed to provide a culturally safe environment, leaving them susceptible to racial abuse from spectators and opposition players. 'I am proud to stand alongside Phil in support of Aboriginal players who have suffered racism in the course of playing in the AFL,' Winmar said in a statement released by Margalit Lawyers after the hearing. 'I want to ensure that the AFL is a safe place for future generations of Aboriginal players.' Krakouer said it was important the case went ahead. 'Delayed justice is injustice, but this case means we are finally being heard,' Krakouer said in a statement. The class action includes six other players, including Phil's brother James Krakouer. The players were at AFL and VFL clubs between 1975 and 2022.
