00:00The AFP can now reveal that a 35-year-old man who worked at or attended 62 early childhood centres
00:07across Sydney's northwest has been charged with 329 child abuse-related offences.
00:14The AFP will allege that between 2009 and 2025, the man committed multiple offences against children at five facilities, which
00:25includes four childcare centres and his own private business.

00:46The AFP linked the 35-year-old man to the alleged online activity and executed a warrant in Glossadia in
00:52northwest Sydney.
00:5425 electronic devices were seized, containing a total of 2.4 million files.
01:00Some of these files were identified as child abuse material.
01:05The man has been in custody since July 2025, after he was arrested by the AFP that month.
