A 42-year-old man has been arrested after joint SA Police and AFP detectives allegedly busted him with child abuse material.

On Tuesday, detectives from the elite Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team arrested the northeastern suburbs man and charged him with possessing child exploitation material.

He was refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.

Detective Senior Sergeant Graham Tomkins said exploitation material isn’t just “images on a screen.”

“Every image and every second of a video has a real child being abused and being subjected to a situation that no child should ever experience,” he said.

“Members of the public who have any information about people involved in child exploitation are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
