A Global Mission - Jon Rouse
In this episode, Eric sits down with Jon Rouse a distinguished figure in child exploitation investigations, who recounts his 39-year career beginning with the Queensland Police in 1984. Influenced by his family's military background, Jon discusses his early law enforcement assignments, a critical encounter with violence, and his shift to the Child Abuse Unit.
Jon highlights his pioneering role in Task Force Argos, which revolutionized child exploitation investigations with a victim-centered approach and influential legislation. The episode also explores the psychological toll of this type of work, the evolution of online predatory behavior, and the importance of post-service support for officers.
Jon advocates for the correct terminology, stressing ‘Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)’ over ‘child pornography’. The discussion underscores the emotional dedication of the officers and the significant human cost of their essential work.
