A 35-year-old Goodna man will face Ipswich Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 5 April 2017, charged with alleged child exploitation offences following an investigation by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC).
The man was identified by the CCC during an ongoing investigation that is focused on individuals accessing and distributing child exploitation material online using peer to peer software.
Late yesterday CCC detectives executed a search warrant at the man’s Goodna address assisted by members of the CCC Forensic Computer Unit and the Queensland Police Service Ipswich District Child Protection Investigation Unit (CPIU).
It will be alleged a quantity of child exploitation material, including video and image files were located at the man’s house.
The man was charged with the following offences:
- 2 x s.228D Possessing Child Exploitation Material (Qld Criminal Code 1899);
- 1 x s.474.19(1)(a)(i)&(aa)(b) Use a carriage service to access child pornography material (Commonwealth Criminal Code 1995).
As the matter is now before the court, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.
