Muhammad Zain Ul Abideen Rasheed, 29, from Perth had coerced 286 victims, including 180 children, from 20 countries into performing sexually explicit acts on camera or video, Australian police said. Rasheed pleaded guilty to 119 charges last December and was first charged in 2021 when police reported that he had posed as a teenage social media celebrity to befriend girls in Australia and abroad.
