Three men are facing the prospect of 15 years in jail after allegedly buying sex dolls depicting children.
The men were arrested over two days in Grafton, NSW, and Turramurra in Sydney after Australian Border Force allegedly intercepted sex dolls being imported into the country in March and April.
A 62-year-old was arrested in the NSW town of Grafton on Thursday after being accused of importing one of the dolls from China, with police allegedly finding two other dolls and children’s clothing at his home.
Police arrested a 42-year-old man on Thursday in his home in NSW town of Turramurra where they allegedly found a child sex-doll from Japan and another doll.
A 37-year-old in NSW town of Grafton was arrested for allegedly possessing a child-like doll and was scheduled to appear before Lismore Local Court on Saturday.
Each man was charged with possessing and illegally importing a child-like sex doll and child abuse charges, though police do not believe the arrests are connected to each other.
Possessing a childlike sex doll can incur a punishment of 15 years imprisonment in New South Wales.
