The offences were committed in Brisbane, Sydney and overseas between 2007 and 2022.Police have charged a 45-year-old man with 1,623 child abuse offences against 91 girls.
Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough said the offences include 136 counts of rape and 110 counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10."We allege the 45-year-old man from the Gold Coast recorded all his alleged offending on his phone and cameras,'' Gough said. "Given there were 70 alleged images and videos of children recorded over 15 years by the alleged offender, the process of identification took time, skill and determination," Gough saidThe man had all the qualifications necessary to work with children, and was only arrested in August of last year. He remains in custody.
Mr Briggs said it was an incredibly difficult and lengthy investigation between a number of jurisdictions.
