Several youths have been questioned by police over a homemade DVD showing a teenage girl being sexually abused and degraded by up to a dozen boys.
The DVD had been circulating among high school children in Melbourne's west and on the internet and was being sold for $5.
Police warn anyone viewing or downloading the film risks child pornography charges.
Victoria Police Senior Constable Michael Henry said charges were yet to be laid over the film, which includes graphic footage of a young woman being sexually abused and her hair set alight.
"Detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad have tonight spoken to several of the youths over the Werribee DVD investigation," Snr Const Henry said.
He said police would speak to other youths thought involved in filming the incident - which occurred in June at Werribee - "over the next few days".
"No one has been charged at present," Snr Const Henry said.
"And any decision in relation to charges will be made once all evidence has been assessed and all people involved have been spoken to."
The interviews came after several groups of parents of the boys came forward to hand their sons in to police.
Police have also described their investigation into the shocking DVD, which was sold in schools west of Melbourne, as "in its early stages".
They have again appealed for anyone with information on its production to make contact.
^^ This was truly a sick day in melbourne history. This girl is somewhat mentally challenged and was taken and forced to engage in oral sex with up to 12 boys who urinated on her tore her cloths of and set her hair on fire. These 12 should be shot for there actions and there is no ifs or buts about it.
