Child sex dolls sold without heads to harness loophole | ABC NEWS
Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads are being offered for sale on Temu and Shein in what advocates say may be a bid to get around Australian laws.
Campaigners say the products are advertised in parts as hairdressing mannequins and are often described as “adult toys” despite their child-like features.
The Australian Border Force has reported a “disturbing” rise in attempts to import child-like sex dolls, seizing 47 in the past year alone.
