SloveniaAn Australian childcare worker named Hamish Tait has been accused of sexually abusing at least 136 children over a period of 16 years, from 2009 to 2025. He worked in 59 early childhood care centers across Sydney’s northwestern suburbs and is currently in custody after his request for anonymity was denied by the court. The police identified 136 potential victims from 121 families and are still trying to identify 22 more children who may appear in secretly recorded videos. Tait is accused of creating material depicting child sexual abuse, recording people during private moments without consent, and touching children under ten years old. The investigation began in June 2025 after linking Tait to illegal online activity. Police searched his property in Glossodia and recovered approximately 2.4 million electronic files related to alleged abuses. This case follows other high-profile incidents involving child abuse in Australia, prompting authorities to announce stricter oversight of childcare facilities.
