NSW Police Force, Crime Stoppers and the NSW Aboriginal Land Council will today
announce a joint initiative to encourage reports of sexual exploitation of
Aboriginal children along major roadways in regional and rural locations.
A reward of $5,000 is offered for credible information that leads to an arrest
for sexual exploitation of an Aboriginal minor. Primarily targeting major
trucking routes and highways, this initiative is aimed to encourage reporting
from surrounding community members.
Assistant Commissioner Stephen Bradshaw, Western Region Commander, sees the
reward scheme as a timely reminder to the community that police take the issue
of child exploitation extremely seriously.
“Police need the community’s help to drive down these abhorrent crimes,” said
Assistant Commissioner Bradshaw.
“I appeal to the community to come forward with information about a location, an
incident, or persons involved in the sexual exploitation of Aboriginal minors.
“Police will continue to proactively target offenders who think they can fall
under the radar and exploit children in regional and rural communities.
“I urge people to be vigilant along major roadways and trucking routes and to
come forward and report.
“I remind members of the public that the sexual exploitation of children is an
insipid crime that affects whole communities. All children need to be protected,
and vulnerable children need our protection even more.
“I urge anyone with information relating to the sexual exploitation of an
Aboriginal child to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
The NSW Aboriginal Land Council has committed $30,000 towards the rewards
scheme, a commitment which has been matched by the NSW Government.
“Working in partnership with police, we will do what needs to be done to protect
our children, who are our future,” said Bev Manton, Chairperson of the NSW
Aboriginal Land Council.

MORE than $4 million is on offer for some of the state's most horrific and baffling crimes.
But since the reward system began in 1986 just one reward has been paid out - $500,000 for the 1996 conviction of serial killer Ivan Milat for spree of backpacker killings.
The arrest of two men last month over the January 2006 murder of Derrick Reid, 45, at his Cartwright home is believed to be the result of a public tip-off.
No one has applied for the $100,000 reward for the information that solved that bashing murder.
Police said several new leads have been uncovered in the case of Revelle Balmain - a Sydney model and part-time sex worker who disappeared form Kingsford in November 1994. The reward for the information into the model's disappearance and suspected murder was raised from $100,000 to $250,000 at the end of July.
The reticence of the public to come forward with what they know is one of the reasons behind a decision this month to post the rewards online.
Police Minister David Campbell said the website would ensure there was a, "reminder that these cases remain unsolved and people need to come forward".
"The families left devastated by these crimes deserve some closure, if this website can help to solve just one of those cases, than it will have been worthwhile," he said.
"Often people don't realise that a very small piece of information could be all that is needed to help police crack one of these cases. The rewards website can be a reminder that goes into the homes of these key witnesses to deliver to them the message that they must break their silence," he said.
There are 34 rewards listed on a range of cases that date back to 1978.
Rewards are offered to anyone who has information which can lead to the arrest and conviction of an offender in relation to an outstanding case.
