Detects documents containing child exploitation investigation case files including victim identification data, offender network intelligence, and investigative techniques used against CSAM distribution networks. QPS Task Force Argos is the primary Queensland unit. Disclosure re-victimises children and compromises active rescue operations.

Confidence

high

Confidence justification

High confidence: requires co-occurrence of child exploitation investigation terminology with case-specific identifiers and QPS unit references. The combination of CSAM investigation language with victim identification and offender network terms is highly specific to genuine case files. Generic child protection terminology alone does not trigger detection.
