Thirteen men have appeared in courts in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth today following a police investigation into an international child pornography ring.
Among those charged are school teachers, a priest and the owner of three childcare centres.
More than 200 people have been charged with 2,000 offences and Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty says there are more to come.
So far in Western Australia 12 people have appeared in court including 24-year-old teacher Alan John Vella.
Vella has been charged with possessing and selling or supplying child pornography.
The men have been released on bail and will reappear in court later this month.
In Sydney, a 33-year-old teacher is alleged to have secretly filmed schoolgirls undressing in a changing room.
The man is also a church pastor and was refused bail. He will reappear in court next week.
Melbourne police have charged the owner of three childcare centres and expect to charge an Anglican priest, and a Catholic primary school teacher.
