Unmasked: Accused paedophile arrested in The Muppets pyjamas is pictured as grim new details emerge
A man who allegedly used social media to procure a child for sexual acts has been unmasked after he was arrested in The Muppets pyjamas last week.
Sunshine Coast teacher Darren Raymond Fulcher was arrested on June 10 following an investigation targeting online child exploitation and abuse.
The 58-year-old was charged with one count of using the internet to procure a child under 16 and later released on strict bail conditions.
Prior to his arrest, Fulcher regularly shared photos of himself online wearing Disney merchandise and he would often take Disney-themed holidays.
'Disney Fan. Next trip - Thanksgiving 2025,' his Instagram bio reads.
The Queensland College of Teachers - the state's teacher registration body - shows Fulcher was suspended as a teacher on June 9.
Dramatic footage of his arrest last week showed police officers busting though the front door of the former teacher's home.
Fulcher, wearing a Muppets-themed pyjama set with an 'unleash the beast' t-shirt, sat on his couch barefoot while speaking with officers.
The school where Fulcher worked sent an email about the arrest of a teacher to parents and guardians this week, the Courier Mail reported.
'The safety and wellbeing of our students is our priority,' the email read.
'(The school) has recently learned of an allegation against a teacher, possibly constituting an online child sex offence. We take such allegations extremely seriously.
'Be advised the teacher is no longer in the workplace while the matter is ongoing.'
Fulcher is set to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on July 14.

Remains found in remote bushland confirmed to be those of missing teen Pheobe Bishop
The Queensland police have confirmed that the human remains found in rugged bush earlier this month are those of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop. The 17-year-old Queensland teen was last seen on her way to Bundaberg airport on 15 May when she failed to board her flight. Her housemates, James Wood, 34, and 33-year-old Tanika Bromley, have been charged with one count each of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse. Police had found the human remains on 6 June in the Good Night Scrub National Park area, but couldn't immediately confirm whether it was Bishop's body. The Queensland Police on Tuesday officially confirmed that the remains belonged to the missing teenager, but the authorities could not find either her luggage or her mobile phone. "Investigations into locating more items of interest in relation to this matter remain ongoing," the police said. Bundaberg mayor Helen Blackburn said the formal identification was a "relief", Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. "We've been waiting to have the confirmation that it was Pheobe that was found ... to have this now confirmed just means that we can move forward together." Bishop was last seen on the morning of 15 May when she was being driven to the Bundaberg airport by her housemates. Footage shared online showed a grey Hyundai ix35 driving along the back street of Gin Gin. The car model was allegedly the same as the one Bishop was travelling in on the day of her disappearance, according to the police. The video was reportedly from two hours after Bishop was dropped off at the Bundaberg airport for her flight to Brisbane. Bishop's mother, Kylie Johnson, described the disappearance as completely 'out of character', particularly during a week of family mourning – the death anniversaries of her best friend and her grandfather. "If you knew Pheobe, you would know that she is free-spirited and loves hard! She is loyal to the core and cutthroat,' she said. After the arrest of Bishop's housemates, Ms Johnson posted to Facebook, "begging anyone that knows anything to come forward". Detective Inspector Mansfield said, "our investigation will detail the facts that we believe Pheobe was murdered and then her body was moved". 'We will allege that Pheobe was moved more than once.'

Britain's Boulter says she has received death threats
June 17 (Reuters) - British number two Katie Boulter has received death threats to herself and members of her family after matches as players are increasingly subjected to online abuse through direct messages. Gamblers are responsible for 40% of detected abuse, according to a survey undertaken by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) and International Tennis Federation (ITF) published on Tuesday. Boulter, 28, shared her experiences in an interview with the BBC. The world number 39 received messages that read: "Hope you get cancer", "Candles and a coffin for your entire family", and "Go to hell, I lost money my mother sent me". "I just wonder who the person is that has sent that," Boulter said looking at the "hope you get cancer" message. "I don't think it's something that I would ever say to my worst enemy. It's just an awful, awful thing to say to anyone. It's horrible." The WTA and ITF study, which monitored 1.6 million posts and comments last year using Threat Matrix AI, are calling for the gambling industry to tackle those people responsible for the abuse more effectively. "I think it just kind of shows how vulnerable we are," Boulter said. "You really don't know if this person is on site. You really don't know if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that." The WTA said 458 players were targeted with direct abuse or threat last year and that action had been taken against the most serious and prolific cases, including 15 accounts escalated to law enforcement. "Online abuse is unacceptable, and something that no player should have to endure," American world number three Jessica Pegula, a member of the WTA Players' Council said in a statement. "I welcome the work that the WTA and ITF are doing with Threat Matrix to identify and take action against the abusers, whose behaviour is so often linked to gambling. But it's not enough on its own. "It's time for the gambling industry and social media companies to tackle the problem at its source and act to protect everyone facing these threats."

Thai police arrest 13 foreigners in an alleged $1.2M investment scam targeting Australians
Thai police said Tuesday over a dozen foreigners, mostly Australians and British, were arrested for allegedly running an online investment fraud that had duped people out of at least 1.9 million Australian dollars (about $1.2 million). Police raided Monday a rental house in the province of Samut Prakan, neighboring Bangkok, and arrested 13 people, said Jirabhob Bhuridej, chief of the police's Central Investigation Bureau, at a press conference in the Thai capital. Jirabhob said the Australian Federal Police (AFP) informed Thai authorities last year of a scam group led by an Australian and a British, and a joint investigation was launched. The alleged scammers operated out of Thailand to swindle money from victims in Australia and potentially other English-speaking countries through online advertisements and phone calls to invest in long-term bonds with a promise of high returns, Jirabhob said. Footage showed the men after being arrested in the rental house that was converted into an office. Papers of alleged scam scripts and workflow were taped to their partitioned desks. There were also whiteboards the police said were used for tracking their progress, and clocks on a wall showing time zones across Australia. Thai police said they staked out the house for several months and saw the men coming and going at times that coincided with working hours in Australia. They said they confiscated a number of phones, computers and other electronic devices allegedly used for the scam. AFP senior officer Kristie-Lee Cressy said at the Bangkok press conference that at least 14,000 Australians had fallen victim to this scam. 'The group amassed at least 1.9 million in (Australian dollars) from Australian victims in just the short time it had been operating. Money that we say was stolen from hard-working Australians and not invested as promised,' she said. 'Shutting down this scam center is a significant win for the communities of Thailand and Australia.' Australian authorities believe the two leaders of the group had been running scams for many years and operating in several countries, including Indonesia, where they had escaped arrest before being found in Thailand, Jirabhob said. The group of men arrested in Thailand on Monday includes six British, five Australians, one Canadian and one South African, officials said. They said the suspects denied all wrongdoing, saying that they believed they were working legally for a legitimate investment company. Immigration officials said they entered Thailand with different kinds of visas, including for retirement and education. Jirabhob said they were initially charged with racketeering and working in Thailand without a permit. He said further investigation could lead to more serious charges, including fraud and involvement in a transnational organized crime. Australian police officer Cressy said Australia suffered an estimated damage of 4.45 billion Australian dollars ($2.9 billion) from online scams in the past four years. A U.N. report in April said transnational organized crime groups in East and Southeast Asia are spreading their lucrative scam operations across the globe in response to increased crackdowns by authorities.
