Man, 69, charged over alleged sexual assault acts in Moreton, Qld
A 69-year-old ice cream van operator has been charged following an investigation into alleged sexual offences against two children and a woman in Brisbane's Moreton region. Detectives allege the man inappropriately touched the victims – two girls and a woman known to him – in separate incidents between January 2024 and April 2025. The alleged offences occurred in the suburbs of Redcliffe, Newport and Griffin. On May 29, detectives executed a search warrant at a Brendale residence and an ice cream truck on the property. Several electronic devices were seized for forensic examination and the man was taken into custody. The man has been charged with three counts of sexual assault, one count of indecent treatment of a child under 16, and one count of common assault. Redcliffe Detective Senior Sergeant Guy Ford said investigations were ongoing. 'We will allege the man knew two of the three victims in a professional capacity,' he said. 'Due to the nature of the offending, we believe there may be further victims and we encourage you to contact police if you have information. 'We are always thankful of people who are brave enough to share their story with us so we can investigate and work towards justice for that person.' Police bail was refused, and the man was expected to appear in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Friday.

Best of both Beetson worlds collide at Magic Round
The Magic Round clash between the Sydney Roosters and the Dolphins is more than just an NRL game - it honours the late and great Arthur Beetson, a rugby league Immortal. Beetson, who won premierships at the Roosters (1974, 1975) and Dolphins (1965 in the BRL), was also a prescient thinker about the game. He wrote in his autobiography that his great wish was for the two clubs to play each other in the NRL. He didn't get to see it in his lifetime but his contribution to both has been immortalised by the Artie Legacy Medal, awarded for man of the match each time the sides clash. Dolphins enforcer Felise Kaufusi and Roosters backs Billy Smith and Sam Walker have been the three recipients to date. Former Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett said at the club's presentation night in 2023 that the 28-18 win over the Roosters in the club's inaugural match was invaluable in setting the new franchise on its way to success. Dolphins chairman Bobby Jones, a former hooker, was one of Beetson's dearest friends and played with him at the Roosters and Redcliffe. Ahead of Friday night's showdown at Suncorp Stadium he dissected the Beetson legacy. "I thought about Arthur when we won our first game against the Roosters. He would have been so thrilled to see the event and his old Redcliffe boys prevail," Jones told AAP. "He would have been torn. He had a real close connection to Redcliffe because it was a launching pad for his career when he played in our first ever BRL premiership-winning side in 1965. "He also had a strong tie with the Roosters both as a player and coach. It was there he became the premier front-rower in the game ...ever. "In the lead-up to the first game everyone was talking about the Roosters as premiership favourites and us as wooden spooners. We were inspired by Felise Kaufusi in particular who sorted a few Roosters boys out. "For us to play the Roosters was something Arthur always had a vision for and believed in." Beetson finished his playing career at Redcliffe where he was captain-coach in 1981. He played alongside Jones after previously recruiting him to the Roosters. "Arthur took me down there and he was held in such high regard by the community and club and everywhere. He was iconic," Jones recalled. '"At Redcliffe in 1981 his drawing power was unbelievable. He had people just wanting to be where he was. "We were strong. We won reserve grade and third grade and probably should have won the first grade."By 1965 he had played his first two years with us in the centres, at five-eighth and even on the wing. He got moved into the second-row with five games to go in 1965 by (coach) Henry Holloway and it was a masterstroke. We won the comp and he went to Sydney as a forward. "Getting a chance to go from Redcliffe to Sydney with him was something unimaginable for a youngster from Gunnedah. It was something dreams are made of." Dolphins winger Jack Bostock will play on Friday night and is determined to do Beetson proud. "There is a rivalry, but also emotion," he said. "It is going to be a great game."

How a single arrest led to the rescue of SEVEN children in Australia and overseas
The arrest of an Australian man has led to the rescue of seven children who were allegedly being sexually exploited. Queensland Police arrested a 31-year-old man after executing a search warrant at a Kippa Ring home, north Brisbane, on December 7, 2024. Officers in the Redcliffe Child Protection Investigation Unit had received a tip about the man allegedly committing child exploitation offences. Several digital devices were seized from the home and the man was initially charged with three counts of possessing child exploitation material and one count of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence. However, further examination of the seized items allegedly lifted the lid on an international child exploitation operation. Redcliffe officers worked with Argos victim identification specialists to identify and locate the alleged child victims. Two children were found in South East Queensland with police providing them ongoing support. Another two children were identified as living in the Philippines. Queensland Police notified Australian Federal Police representatives who worked with the Philippine National Police to find the children. A further three children were allegedly rescued by the PNP on February 20, 2025. The PNP's investigation into alleged child exploitation in the local area is ongoing. The 31-year-old Kippa Ring man was charged with an additional 24 offences on January 24, 2025. Those including five counts of using internet to procure children under 16, four counts of grooming child under 16 years or parent or carer of child under 16 years, facilitate procurement of child to engage in sexual act, four counts of indecent treatment of child under 12 with impairment of the mind, and two counts of distributing child exploitation material. He was also charged with one count each of contravening order about information necessary to access information stored electronically, possessing child exploitation material and using internet to procure children under 12. Additionally, the 31-year-old was charged with six counts of supplying dangerous drugs. He has been remanded in custody and due to reappear in Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Thursday. Moreton District Detective Inspector Phil Hurst warned those running child exploitation operations in Australia from overseas weren't safe from law enforcement.
