Up to 30 suspects have been charged and NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney says at least another 100 people are under investigation.
The head of the department of psychology at the University of Canberra, Professor Bob Montgomery, says some offenders will evade detection because not all paedophiles use the Internet.
Professor Montogomery is calling for more resources to prevent the crime.
"We know what the experiences are that set them up to become sex offenders, let's put a lot more resources into supporting troubled families and troubled individuals in prevention because in the long run it's not only more cost effective, which would catch the politicians attention, it's just a damn site more humane," he said.
