Criminal Case Prompts Warnings to 1,000+ Sydney Families

More than 1,000 families in Sydney have received letters from NSW and Federal Police, warning them that their child may have come into contact with a man accused of serious criminal behaviour involving children.
But authorities are stressing: receiving the letter doesn’t mean your child was harmed.
As first reported by 2GB's Ben Fordham, the man—who worked in Sydney’s northern suburbs and the CBD—was charged in October 2024 and is currently in custody. For legal reasons, police haven’t released his name, where he worked, or any identifying details about the children involved.
What we do know is that investigators allegedly found confronting material on the man’s phone, and he’s been accused of inappropriate behaviour. Despite the serious nature of the charges, police believe only a very small number of children were directly involved.
Still, in an effort to be thorough and transparent, they’ve sent out more than 1,000 letters to families whose children may have crossed paths with the man.
“If you received a letter, it means your child might have had contact with him—not that they were a victim,” police explained.
Authorities are urging families to read the letter carefully and contact the dedicated hotline provided if they have any questions or concerns.
The NSW Police Force and the Australian Federal Police are working closely with other agencies, including NSW Health, the Department of Education, the Department of Communities and Justice, and the Office of the Children’s Guardian, as part of a wider investigation and victim identification process.
This remains an ongoing investigation, and families are encouraged to stay informed and reach out if they need support.
