AUSTRALIA -- Australian Federal Police arrested 21 people across the country after cracking an alleged online child abuse network, according to local media reports.

The people arrested range in age from 22 to 76 and are from all walks of life.

Police say they expect another six arrests in the case.

The arrests are part of what's called Operation Conqueror, which began in July with an investigation into the sharing and distribution of child abuse photos over the internet.
