How an Australian journalist drew pedophiles into his internet trap by Martin Foley

As an experienced investigative journalist I admit to a feeling of disgust when dealing with any form of child abuse. It is not news that the internet is the favoured medium of pedophiles and sexual predators to target children and communicate among themselves. But the reality of the ease and sinister grooming techniques I discovered among pedophiles was shocking. Among those who fell into my online trap were people trying to have cyber sex with someone they believed to be a teenage Sydney school girl, and a man who identified himself as a Sydney architect.
