A 49-year-old Ormiston man has been charged with 99 child sex offences, including allegedly administering a website that hosted child exploitation material. Police seized several storage devices during a raid on his home. He was remanded in custody and is due to appear in court on October 16.
A man has been charged with numerous child sex offences south-east of Brisbane, with police alleging he was the administrator of a website that hosted child exploitation material.
Investigators from the Queensland police child exploitation taskforce, Argos, raided the 49-year-old Ormiston man’s home on Thursday and found several storage devices they allege had child abuse material on them. The Ormiston man was charged with 99 offences, including administering a child exploitation material website. He was charged with 99 offences, including possessing child abuse material, administering a child exploitation material website, and using a carriage service to distribute child abuse material.
He was remanded in custody by a Brisbane magistrate on Friday and will next appear in court on October 16. It comes as a Brisbane man who paid to watch children being sexually abused online in overseas live shows for years was jailed for almost two decades, police say. Kevin Raymond Doyle, 62, was also accused of travelling to the Philippines twice in a failed attempt to sexually abuse the children who featured in the livestreamed shows.
He pleaded guilty to almost 100 offences related to child abuse after facilitating the sexual abuse of 25 children in the Philippines, including some with severe disabilities, police said. He spent $5000 over three years to livestream 28 child sexual abuse shows from the Philippines, according to the Australian Federal Police.
The AFP probe into Doyle, including his “prolific use” of live abuse, was launched after officers stopped him when he flew in to Brisbane from the Philippines in October 2019 and found child sexual abuse material on his phone. The probe related to offending involving live child abuse shows over video conferencing apps, the AFP said on Friday.
“Consumers will typically direct the abuse, with victim children subjected to repeated, and increasingly degrading, sexual abuse over a prolonged period,” it said in a statement. There was also evidence the man had been communicating directly with child victims and detailing the sexual offences he intended to commit on them, the AFP said.
“He also travelled to the Philippines on two separate occasions with the intent to sexually abuse children he had observed being abused in the live shows. Information provided by the AFP led to the rescue of the seven victims and prosecution of three livestream facilitators by Filipino police. AdvertisementHe received a 19-year jail term with a non-parole period of 12 years, the AFP said.
