Australian Childcare Worker Admits to Over 300 Child Sex Offences

Ashley Paul Griffith pleads guilty to abusing 60 children across Australia and Italy, marking one of the country's worst paedophile cases.

Griffith admitted to 307 charges, including rape, indecent treatment, and making child exploitation material.
The offences spanned from 2003 to 2022 and involved children under his care at various childcare centres.
Griffith was first arrested in 2022 and initially faced over 1,600 charges, many of which were later dropped.
Victims and their families were present during the court proceedings, which took more than two hours to read the charges.
Sentencing is pending, with a potential two-day hearing to accommodate victim impact statements.
