Police Launch Operation Whiskey Mott in S. Brisbane

Detectives from the Morningside Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) have charged a man with additional historical child sex offences, following new victim-survivors coming forward since August 12.

It will be alleged the now 69-year-old man committed a further 32 offences against 19 young people aged between 9 and 13 at two Brisbane educational facilities during the course of his duties as a teacher between 1987 and 1992.

Following extensive investigations detectives attended an address in Brisbane's south on Sunday October 20, where the 69-year-old man was taken into custody.

He has been charged with a further 17 counts of indecent treatment of children under 16, 4 counts of taking a child under 16 for immoral purposes, and 11 counts of common assault .

He was refused police bail, and is expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today, Monday, October 21.

Detective Senior Sergeant Deanna Geck of the Morningside CPIU, commends all victim-survivors for their courage to speak out.

"Anyone entrusted to care for children must hold themselves to highest standard," she said.

"It is deplorable for anyone to use their position as leverage to carry our deplorable acts against a child and we are committed to holding any perpetrator to account.

"I acknowledge the outstanding courage of all victim-survivors who have come forward.

"Your bravery helps police hold perpetrators to account and in turn gives other victim-survivors the confidence to come forward.

"We encourage anyone else who has any knowledge of this type of offending, is themselves a victim-survivor of sexual violence or has information to provide in relation to this investigation to come forward.

"I want to reassure you that what has happened to you is not your fault and you are not alone, and that there are support services available to you."

Investigations are ongoing and police are providing support to those involved.
