Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough has spoken after a 45-year-old Gold Coast man was arrested over the alleged sexual abuse of almost 100 children at various childcare centres in QLD and NSW. MORE DETAILS: 9News
The 45-year-old Gold Coast man allegedly filmed the rape and abuse and uploaded the "chilling" child abuse material to the dark web; his alleged offending included 136 counts of rape and 110 counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10.
Alleged child abuse material was also recorded at an early learning centre attached to a school overseas. The man worked at other childcare centres but the AFP said it is confident the man did not allegedly offend at those centres. "I can only say, you try not to be shocked after a long period of time in the police and crime reporting, but this is a horrific case."The man has been in custody in Queensland in August 2022 when the AFP arrested and charged him initially with two counts of making child exploitation material and one count of using a carriage service for child abuse material.
"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. Argos posted those images on an international victim identification database where law enforcement agencies from around the world try to locate victims.
