Sydney childcare abuse charges

The investigation expanded after Australian Federal Police reviewed files discovered on the suspect's electronic devices.

The charges involve the production of child abuse material and the physical assault of children who were under his care over several years.

Authorities have described the case as a 'parent's worst nightmare' and are providing support services to families at the affected daycare centers.

The suspect is expected to face a lengthy trial as more evidence comes to light from his tenure at various facilities in the Sydney area.
