Australian Border Force officers stopped the man, aged 60, and searched his luggage after he arrived in Sydney on a flight from Cambodia yesterday.

During an examination of the man’s mobile phone, border force officers allegedly found suspected child abuse material.

When AFP officers arrived they also examined the suspect’s phone, where they allegedly discovered child abuse material and sexualised conversations with and about minors on the device.

A laptop, tablet and USB were also found in the suspect’s luggage and seized for forensic analysis.

Further investigations led to the execution of a search warrant at a Leichhardt home, where additional electronic devices underwent forensic examinations.

The man was charged with possession or control of child abuse material obtained using a carriage service, intentionally importing prohibited tier two goods without approval, and two counts of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material.
