Police alleged that on March 30, 2022, Mr Fredberg was in possession of child exploitation material.

It is further alleged some of the material contained a child under the age of 14.

Michael Woods, defence counsel for Mr Fredberg, was excused from appearing in person alongside his client after there was a delay with the paperwork.

Mr Fredberg entered a new bail agreement which forbids him to be around children under the age of 18 without a parent or guardian present or be in child related work.

No pleas were entered.

The matter will return to court next year.
