Rising rate of sick abuse
GOLD COAST model Jesinta Franklin has posed topless for Marie Claire magazine as the publication launched a campaign to legalise gay marriage.
A string of celebrities including Adam Goodes, Gemma Ward, Thelma Plum, Carla Zampatti, Neil Perry, Matt Moran and Waleed Aly are also joining the ‘Until We All Belong’ campaign, which is sponsored by online accomodation provider Airbnb.
“I’ve joined forces with @marieclaireau to be involved with the “UNTIL WE ALL BELONG” campaign in the fight for Marriage Equality in Australia,” she wrote on Instagram.
“This is something very close to my heart.”
The racy picture comes after Franklin was at the centre of controversy when she announced she was the face of Cadbury’s new Dark Milk range, in a deal said to be worth up to $250,000.
Franklin, whose book promoted sugar-free recipes and avoiding packaged foods, was flown to London to shoot promotions, with celebrity agent Max Markson saying that she would have been paid “anywhere from $100,000 to a quarter of a million” dollars.
But the 25-year-old took to Channel 9’s Today Show to defend her new role – saying she’s always had a sweet spot for the chocolate brand, and that there’s “nothing wrong with a treat”.
“I’ve never promoted a totally sugar free diet,” she explained to hosts Lisa Wilkinson and Karl Stefanovic. SICK Australian paedophiles are paying to watch live webcam abuse of babies as young as three months old.
And new figures reveal the increasing prevalence of the horrific abuse of children via live webcam, predominantly in the Philippines. In 2015/16, there were 99 prosecutions of Australians using a carriage service to procure or groom a person under the age of 16 – a nearly 150 per cent increase on the 40 prosecutions in 2008/9.
The Office of the E-Safety Commissioner has already investigated more than 38,000 images and videos involving the sexual abuse of children this financial year alone.
A total of 8078 investigations have been completed from July 2016 to date.
