MORE than 70 Australian schools are targets for a perverse pornography ring secretly swapping and exchanging graphic images of female students and other nonconsenting women.

News.com.au can reveal more than 2000 images have been posted or traded by Australian members since the group began operating in December last year.

Young men use the site to nominate the specific high school or region they are phishing for nude photos from, along with the full names of girls they are “hunting”. Hundreds of individual names have appeared on “wanted” lists, including the names of sisters and entire high school friendship circles.

Once a girl’s name appears on a list, other members of the group then “contribute” by posting identifying information about the intended victim, such as her full name, face, school, home address, and phone number, along with directives like “Go get her boys!”
Any “wins” (a colloquial term referring to nude photos) of the nominated target are then uploaded or offered in exchange for a trade. Some targets are so sought after that “bounties” have been offered for any user who can post a “win”.

The site has been reported numerous times to police for child pornography, but so far they say they are unable to act because the site is hosted overseas.

Since its creation, multiple victims have also posted on the site, pleading with the young men to remove their images. Their requests are mostly ignored, laughed at, or in some cases, men retaliate by calling on their “bros” to unearth and upload even more images of the victim.

One young woman who begged for images of her friend to be removed, then had her own name added to the wanted hit-list as punishment.
In total the site mentions 28 high schools in NSW, 18 in Queensland, 15 in Victoria, five in the ACT, two in South Australia and two in Tasmania.

Honestly, that's disgusting. I don't know the age of consent for 'Straya but if they're targeting students isn't it pedophilia too?
The fact they won't even close the website because it's hosted overseas is BS.
They're all schools near me too (in NSW) :L

Quite disgusting.
That's disgusting
Hope something is done about this; simply astonishing, there are no words.
Sickening to say the least..
Just don't be a hoe and you're good

Well the reason why they can't is because it's out of their country. I'm sure that they're probably cooperating or trying to cooperate with the country the server is based in, or whoever runs the server provider and so on but they can't enforce their rules in other places.
2000 pics? Damn
That's.... Sigh.
I live in Victoria and some of the schools are near me and I personally know one of the girls who is affected by this. I just can't believe who has the decency to do this, it's absolutely disgusting.
Fuuuck, a lot of these are close to me, disguting
I wish ED to all users of that site
No seriously, has humanity fell so low?

Unfortunately it seems humanity has steeped so low... it's a real shame.
