Man charged with indecent assaults against children

Charged with assault

A 28-year-old man is scheduled to face court this morning after he allegedly indecently assaulted two children and physically assaulted another while working at a childcare facility.  

In May 2022, police received reports from two parents regarding alleged indecent assaults that had been committed against their children while attending a Canberra day-care facility.  

Following an investigation by ACT Policing’s Sexual Assault and Child Abuse team, a 28-year-old Scullin man was arrested yesterday (Sunday, 29 May 2022).  

He has been charged with two counts of acts of indecency against a child under 10 years and one count of common assault. His employment at the child-care facility had recently been terminated. 

Support is being provided to the facility and families involved in this matter.   

Any victim of sexual violence can contact ACT Policing to report the matter on 131 444, attend a police station or report historical matters online through the ACT Policing website.
