December 21st 2024.
A man from New South Wales has recently been charged with serious offences of incest and child sexual assault. As the investigation unfolded, it was discovered that the man, aged 34, had allegedly committed these heinous acts on a child in his care between 2018 and 2020. The ACT Police's Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Team took immediate action upon receiving a report about the incident.
To make matters even more troubling, additional allegations were brought forward by another child who was known to the accused. It is believed that this second child was also a victim of the man's sexual assaults on multiple occasions between September and November of 2024. The gravity of the situation led to the man's arrest in Coffs Harbour on December 19th, and he was subsequently extradited to the Australian Capital Territory yesterday.
The man now faces a total of eight charges, including two counts of incest, six counts of sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 16, and one count of committing an act of indecency on a person under the age of 16. These are serious crimes that have caused great harm and trauma to the young victims involved. The accused is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today to face these charges.
