Man charged with sexually assaulting 91 children in Australia

Australian police on Tuesday announced the indictment of a former childcare worker, for the sexual assault of 91 children, in what authorities have described as one of the “most horrific” child abuse cases in history that the country has known.

The assaults took place in ten different child care centers between 2007 and 2022 and exclusively targeted “prepubescent girls”, according to the police.

The youngest victims were one year old.

“The 45-year-old was charged with 1,623 crimes including 136 rapes and 110 sexual acts with children under the age of ten,” police added.

Investigators arrested him after finding child pornography on the dark web whose background helped trace the trail to an establishment in Brisbane, the most populous city in the western state of Queensland.

More than 4,000 images and videos were discovered on his phone and computer, with officers measuring the seriousness of the former childcare worker’s alleged “abominable” crimes.
