Former Coworker of Childcare Paedophile Says She Made Complaints Years Before Alleged Offending

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 13 – Joshua Dale Brown faced two substantiated investigations for aggressive conduct but continued working at multiple childcare centres before being charged with over 70 sexual offences, authorities said.

  • On July 1, Victoria Police charged Joshua Dale Brown with 70 offences, including sexual assault, involving eight children at Creative Garden in Point Cook.
  • Before his arrest, two reports to Victoria's Reportable Conduct Scheme raised red flags at the Point Cook Creative Gardens childcare centre, despite findings not being escalated by the independent children's commissioner.
  • Parents and staff alleged he `forcibly grabbed the arm of one child, the leg of another` and `forcibly pulled` off a child's shoe, the email said, revealing a pattern of aggressive conduct.
  • Parents of about 1,200 children were urged to get STI tests, while the government commissioned a `rapid review` with a defined scope.
  • The Victorian government is facing calls for a full review of complaints handling, as Jess Wilson said, 'every aspect of the system should be reviewed to fix failures.
