In 2006, Adelaide teenager Carly Ryan thought she'd met the boy of her dreams on social media by the name of Brandon Kane.
Brandon was a character invented by pedophile Garry Francis Newman, who was in his fifties at the time and communicating with literally hundreds of underage girls around the world, posing as a boy their age. Newman enlisted his own teenage son to help him groom the girls and try to persuade them to meet him in person.
In February 2007, Newman and his son traveled to Adelaide to meet up with 15 year old Carly. They took her to her favourite beach where they raped and murdered her.
Carly's mother, Sonya Ryan has since led efforts for over a decade in Australia to make her home country one of the toughest on online crime and harms and now an international leader in crime prevention.
Sonya joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about what has become her life's work, The Carly Ryan Foundation.
