Police in Australia have launched an anti sexting video to warn teenagers about the risk in sending provocative images from the mobile phones.

The video launch in Canberra by the Australian Federal Police coincided with the beginning of a three-day conference on hi-tech crime in Sydney.

AFP Commissioner Tony Negus said that the Internet was the new public square in the global world and that all kinds of crimes from fraud to child exploitation can happen in that space.

"Viewing child pornography is a snapshot of abuse," the Daily Telegraph quoted Negus as saying. (ANI)
