'Rot! Burn!' Outbursts in Court as Pedophile Extradited
The former childcare worker will face 202 more child-sex charges after Queensland approved his transfer, with NSW authorities saying victims deserve their day in court.
- On Tuesday, the Brisbane Magistrates Court approved the extradition of former childcare worker Ashley Paul Griffith from Queensland to New South Wales to face more than 200 additional child sexual offences.
- Griffith is currently serving a life sentence in Queensland with a non-parole period of 27 years after pleading guilty in 2024 to more than 300 offences committed against 69 girls over two decades.
- During the hearing, a victim supporter yelled "get f***ed Ashley" and "disgusting piece of feral flesh" as Magistrate Belinda Merrin granted the application, which was not opposed by the defence.
- He will now be transferred to face 180 charges relating to children in Sydney, allegedly committed between 2014 and 2017, following coordination between New South Wales Attorney-General Michael Daley and Queensland Attorney-General Deb Frecklington.
- Police investigations in 2022 led to the discovery of more than 4000 child abuse images and videos at his Gold Coast home, revealing the scale of his long-term offending across Australia.
