Police investigating a Melbourne childcare worker accused of child sex crimes have charged a second man with serious offences, including bestiality.
Michael Simon Wilson, of Hoppers Crossing, is also facing charges related to child abuse material and sex offences, according to the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

Premier Jacinta Allan announced on Wednesday her government would create a register of childcare workers “as soon as possible” to provide extra scrutiny.
