A gardener at Sydney’s elite Cranbrook School has been charged over allegations of possessing child abuse material.
Edward Charles Reynolds Warnes, 28, was arrested at an address in Rydalmere on Thursday by specialist investigators from the Australian Federal Police’s Eastern Command Child Protection Operations. Investigators say they received two reports from the US’ National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children about child abuse material being uploaded online.
“Investigators allegedly linked the online account activity to a 28-year-old Sydney man,” the AFP said in a statement.
Detectives seized electronic devices from the property “that allegedly contained child abuse material depicting real children and animated children”.
