A police investigation being led by the
Australian Federal Police (AFP) claims to have uncovered a national
network of alleged child sex offenders, accused of sexual
assaulting and abusing children as young as four years old.
Two of the men arrested so far are from Kendall in the
mid-Northern New South Wales Coast, where William Tyrrell
disappeared in September 2014.
A total of nine men have been arrested and charged in three
states - New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia.
It has been revealed that the men from Kendall lived in the town
at the same time as William Tyrrell vanished.
The boy was just three years old at the time and wearing a
spiderman costume at the time. He went missing after playing in the
front garden of his
foster grandmother's home.
