A 28-year-old Sydney man has been charged with possessing child abuse material after a tip-off from the United States.

A 28-year-old Sydney man has been charged with possessing child abuse material depicting real and animated children. The Australian Federal Police began investigating in September after receiving two reports from the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about child abuse material being uploaded to an online account allegedly linked to the man.

Police searched a home in the western Sydney suburb of Rydalmere on Thursday, where they seized child abuse material on a number of devices. The man was arrested at the property and charged with two counts of using a carriage service to possess child abuse material.

He is due to appear in Burwood Local Court on Friday. The investigation, including analysis of the seized material, is ongoing, police said.
