Breaking: Former NSW and Queensland childcare worker charged with 1623 child abuse offences
More than 90 children have allegedly been sexually abused by a former childcare worker who worked in centres across Queensland and NSW.
Police will allege the man committed the offences in Brisbane, Sydney and overseas, with alleged victims at 10 childcare centres in Brisbane between 2007 and 2013, and from 2018 to 2022, and a centre in Sydney between 2014 and 2017.All the alleged victims were prepubescent girls, and police investigated more than 4000 videos and images online on the dark web, Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough said.
Police arrested the man in Brisbane’s south-western suburbs about 1am on August 21 last year, and he was initially charged with making child exploitation material and using a carriage service for child pornography material. “But in August 2022, the AFP was able to trace objects identified in the background of the alleged images and videos posted on the dark web between 2013 and 2014 to a Brisbane childcare centre,” she said.“Given there were so many alleged images and videos of children recorded over 15 years on the alleged offender’s devices, the process of identification took time, skill and determination,” Gough said.
