Queensland man charged over sexualised conversations with children
A 59-year-old man from Queensland’s Moreton Bay is expected to face Pine Rivers Magistrates Court today (12 March) accused of having sexualised conversations with two children overseas.
The Australian Federal Police’s Brisbane Child Protection Operations charged the man in January this year, after investigating a report from the United States National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), sent to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE).
The NCMEC report alleged a person suspected to be in Queensland was engaging in sexualised online chats with children located in the Philippines via Facebook. Police inquiries allegedly connected the 59-year-old to the account.
