(NewsNation) An international child abuse ring that stretched all the way to Australia was busted by the FBI and Australian authorities, resulting in the arrests of dozens of men.

In Australia, 19 men between the ages of 32 and 81 years old were also arrested and charged with a total of 138 offenses related to peer-to-peer sharing of video and images on the dark web.

Most were information technology professionals with a high degree of technical competence, she said.

Two of the 19 men already were convicted and sentenced to prison terms of almost 15 years in the Australian Capital Territory and five years in New South Wales state, Australian Federal Police Commander Helen Schneider said.

At least 13 children were rescued in Australia in connection to the child abuse scheme.
