Australian man convicted following Lemz and Terre Des Homes ‘Sweetie’ sting
An Australian man has ben convicted of sex offences as a result of the awarding winning ‘Sweetie’ campaign which saw an avatar of a ten-year old Filipino girl created in the hope of catching sex offenders.
The avatar was created by Dutch advertising agency Lemz and children’s aid organisation Terre Des Hommes Netherlands, which captured details of 1,000 men from around the world who requested that Sweetie perform sex acts in front of a webcam for cash. Their details, including 50 men from Australia and New Zealand were then passed onto Interpol.
