Albury doctor charged after child abuse imagesl allegedly found on phone
Detectives have charged an Albury doctor after an investigation found alleged child abuse material on his phone. In May, Australian Border Force officers seized a phone from the 37-year-old man at Melbourne Airport. The phone was then referred to the NSW State Crime Command's Sex Crimes Squad, where detectives allegedly found more than 5,000 video and photo files of child abuse material. Detectives working under the Strike Force Trawler operation, which undertakes ongoing investigations into the online exploitation of children, arrested the doctor in Albury on Tuesday morning. The man was then charged with several offences, including possessing child abuse material and using a carriage to access child abuse material. After his arrest, the doctor was taken to Albury police station before appearing at Albury Local Court. He was refused bail and will face Albury Local Court on August 19. Police say there is no evidence to suggest any offence occurred against the doctor's patients.

Police have arrested a 19-year-old man in relation to a two-vehicle crash near Newcastle, where a woman and an unborn baby died. Police said that on Sunday about 2.40am a patrolling officer saw a sedan, allegedly bearing unauthorised number plates, driving on Newcastle Roadin North Lambton. An attempt was made to stop the vehicle, but police allege it continued driving dangerously, and a decision was made not to engage in a pursuit due to safety concerns. A short time later, a second police car allegedly saw the sedan cross onto the wrong side of the road and then officers lost sight of the vehicle. Police continued to monitor the area before being called to reports of a head-on crash between the sedan and another vehicle. A passenger in the vehicle, a woman believed to be 55, died at the scene. The driver of the second vehicle, a 28-year-old woman, was taken to John Hunter Hospital, where she remains in a serious condition.

Driver who 'did not stop' to face trial over crash that killed 16-year-old Ruby Crowley near Shepparton
A Shepparton man has been committed to stand trial in the County Court after pleading not guilty to killing a teenage passenger in a road collision in northern Victoria. Shiva Kumar Jandhyala, 31, from Kialla, is alleged to have driven through a stop sign and collided with two other vehicles in Pine Lodge on April 19, last year. The collision occurred at the Boundary Road-New Dookie Road intersection about 6:30pm. One of Mr Jandhyala's passengers, 16-year-old Ruby Crowley from Lemnos, a farming hamlet on the outskirts of Shepparton, was seriously injured and died in hospital. Another passenger, a 32-year-old man, also from Lemnos, was also seriously hurt. The drivers and passengers in the other vehicles were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Mr Jandhyala appeared at Shepparton Magistrates Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing serious injury. He is also facing three other charges, including failing to stop. The court heard from three police witnesses, including Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Jenelle Hardiman, of Victoria Police's collision reconstruction unit. Mr Jandhyala's defence barrister Kyle McDonald asked her about the safety of the intersection, including visibility at the time of the crash. The court heard drivers travelling south along Boundary Road — as Mr Jandhyala was — had an obstructed view of drivers travelling west on New Dookie Road due to vegetation at the intersection. Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Hardiman agreed but told the court that if Mr Jandhyala had obeyed the stop sign, it would not have been an issue. "We know that from [the] airbag control module and from the momentum of that collision." Asked if she considered the intersection to be dangerous due to its layout and the approaches, as well as a lack of safety features like flashing signs, Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Hardiman said she did. Asked if an appropriate safety "treatment" for the intersection would include regularly trimmed vegetation, she said: The court heard Mr Jandhyala's car was travelling at 55kph at the time of the collision. The court was also told Ms Crowley was not wearing a seatbelt and it was not clear if the 32-year-old man Simon Zebrowski said he was satisfied there was enough evidence to commit Mr Jandhyala to stand trial. The matter will return to the County Court in Melbourne on July 22.
