Former Australian child care worker pleads guilty to sexually abusing around 60 girls

According to the state broadcaster, Judge Anthony Rafter took more than two hours to read out the 307 charges against Griffith in the Brisbane courtroom, where several victims and their families were gathered. ABC.

Police accused the 46-year-old of being one of Australia's worst paedophiles after the charges against him became public in 2023.

Griffith was first arrested for creating child sexual abuse content in 2022. A year later, he was charged with 1,623 crimes against 91 children.

However, some charges were dropped and the ABC reported that the September 2 indictment involved about 60 children.

Many of the victims were under 12 years old.

The crimes occurred between 2003 and 2022 in twelve different locations in Australia and in Pisa, Italy.

Griffith is in custody and will be sentenced at a later date.

The court concluded that the verdict could take more than two days to allow time for the victim's statements to be read. ABC reported.
