SEXUAL CRIMES SQUAD INVESTIGATES ALLEGED CHILDCARE SEXUAL ASSAULTS

Detectives from Victoria Police’s Sexual Crimes Squad are investigating a series of alleged sexual assaults linked to a former childcare worker who was employed at multiple centres across Melbourne.

Joshua Brown, a 26-year-old man from Point Cook, was arrested on 12 May and charged with more than 70 offences, including:

- Sexual pe*******on of a child under 12

- Attempted sexual pe*******on of a child under 12

- Sexual assault of a child under 16

- Sexual activity in the presence of a child under 16

- Producing child abuse material using a carriage service

- Using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material

- Possessing child abuse material for use through a carriage service

- Recklessly contaminating goods to cause alarm or anxiety

- Using a carriage service to offend

- Using a carriage service to have child abuse material sent to himself

The charges relate to eight alleged victims who attended a childcare centre in Point Cook between April 2022 and January 2023.

Brown has been remanded in custody since his arrest and is due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 15 September 2025.

Since his arrest, detectives have launched a major investigation, supported by specialist investigators and multiple government agencies.

Police have confirmed that Brown worked at 20 childcare centres across Melbourne between January 2017 and May 2025.

A full list of these centres, including dates of employment, is available on a dedicated Victorian Government website: https://www.vic.gov.au/childcare-centres-investigation

The site also provides health and welfare information for affected families.

Families of the eight known victims have been notified and are receiving support services.

Investigators are now also prioritising an allegation involving a second childcare centre located in Essendon.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are contacting families whose children attended any of the centres where Brown was employed during the relevant periods.

While the current charges relate to one centre, this outreach is being conducted to ensure appropriate support and information is provided to all potentially affected families.

At this stage, police believe all alleged offences occurred within Victoria and have found no evidence suggesting other staff were involved.

Police acknowledge the distress this news may cause, particularly to families connected to the centres.

Anyone with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au or via 1800 333 000 to assist investigators.
