Childcare Worker Cleared of Charges After Exposing Pedophile Ashley Griffith

Yolanda Borucki, who reported one of Australia's worst pedophiles, was found not guilty of computer-related charges due to insufficient evidence.

  • Yolanda Borucki, a childcare worker, was acquitted of charges alleging unauthorized computer use to share confidential records with the media.
  • Borucki had reported Ashley Paul Griffith, a former colleague and convicted pedophile, to authorities in 2021, leading to his eventual sentencing to life in prison for over 1,600 child abuse offenses.
  • The prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Borucki used a work computer without consent or caused harm by sharing the information.
  • The magistrate highlighted the lack of evidence connecting Borucki's actions to policy violations or psychological harm to families involved.
  • Borucki's defense called her actions 'heroic' and criticized the charges, emphasizing the need for an inquiry into how Griffith was allowed to work with children for decades.
