Nine children have been rescued in the Philippines following the arrest of an accused paedophile in Australia.
The lives of the kids, aged between two and 16 years, changed forever when the man from small town regional Victoria, 61, was stopped at the Australian border in November 2019.
Authorities suspected the Victorian man of child sex crimes and allegedly found sexual conversations on his phone where he asked about girls' ages.
That sparked a Federal Police raid on his home near the Victorian-New South Wales border.
There, officers found videos of the man allegedly raping underage Filipino girls. The Victorian was charged and his case is before the courts.
