Terry Neale arrested for sexually exploiting children

Back in 2020, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) arrested Porter after they recovered two videos that Terry recorded of young boys dressing up. In one of the videos that the AFP recovered, it showed children changing their dresses at a swimming pool in the Portsmouth area. Meanwhile, Terry stands beside them in wet clothes and goggles, giving the impression that he was with the children underwater.

The following year, in January 2021, the National Crime Agency arrested Terry, based on the videos that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) recovered. According to the NCA, Terry would hide a camera and record children undressing secretly while also interacting with them and giving n*ked boys towels in some videos. To make things worse, Terry sent the videos to a youth football coach named Stephen Porter. Although Porter lived half way across the world, the pair have reportedly known each other for over 20 years. The two initially met each other in Australia when Porter coached Australian Rules football youth players.
