  • A 21-year-old volunteer camp leader from Caboolture South was charged in May 2025 with 28 sexual and property offences at a Sunshine Coast campground.
  • Police began investigating after a December 2024 report that the man had been seen looking into bathrooms used by children at the Landsborough campground.
  • Investigators found he allegedly spied on children, unlawfully entered tents, and stole children's underwear multiple times between 2022 and 2024.
  • Detectives executed a May 5 search warrant at his home, seizing electronic devices and discovering children's underwear in a panda-shaped backpack, while body-worn footage showed the man covering his face as charges were read.
  • Sunshine Coast Child Protection officer Grant Gleeson urged victims to report incidents, noting more unknown victims may exist due to the man's long access to children.
