The letter informs families that their child may have crossed paths with the man. It does not mean their children were a victim of him, police said.

2GB’s Ben Fordham reported that over 1000 letters went out to families in Sydney.

The man, who worked in Sydney’s northern suburbs and the CBD, was charged with alleged criminal behaviour offences in October 2024.

He is in custody. His identity, place or places of work and the children involved cannot be identified for legal reasons.

It’s understood that the man has been accused of inappropriate behaviour and allegedly had confronting material on his phone. 

“Investigators suspect that the man’s alleged misconduct affects only a small number of children; however, every parent and caregiver of children who might have interacted with him has been contacted,” stated an AFP release.

NSW Police are collaborating with several state departments in the ongoing investigation, including NSW Health, the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, the NSW Department of Education, and the Office of the Children’s Guardian.

The NSW Police Force is assisting the AFP with a comprehensive victim identification process. 

Investigators are asking anyone who received the letter to read it carefully and reach out to the hotline included in the letter if they have further questions.
