A former childcare worker whose alleged sexual abuse crimes ignited a sector-wide reckoning has been hit with 83 more charges.
Police on Thursday issued more charges against Joshua Dale Brown as their continuing investigation into alleged sexual assaults at Melbourne childcare centres.
He had previously been charged with more than 70 sex offences against eight alleged victims under the age of two, prompting advice to parents of more than 2,000 children to test them for infectious diseases.
The fresh charges include six counts of penetration of a child under 12, eight counts of producing child abuse material for use through a carriage service, seven counts of transmitting child abuse material, eight counts of sexual assault of a child under 16 and 12 counts of bestiality.
