Three months after Queensland police charged a man with child sex offences, a woman will face court accused of not reporting the alleged abuse.
What's next?Queensland police have charged a woman with failing to report child sex offences , after they charged a man with rape and indecent treatment of two children spanning 14 years.
But in July 2021, it became an offence for an adult not to report child sexual offences by another adult to police, unless they had a reasonable excuse.Detective Senior Sergeant Kerri Della-Vedova from the Sunshine Coast Child Protection Investigation Unit said offences against children were "vile" crimes because they targeted the most vulnerable members of society.
"Reporting offences as soon as you become aware of it limits the possibility of further offending against that child allows police to intervene and begin investigations." "It may not be safe or practicable to confront directly, so by reporting it you give police the opportunity to step in.
