A man charged with sexually assaulting a child, following the earlier alleged discovery of more than 500,000 files of child abuse material, will remain behind bars on remand.
Nathan Scott Adams, 42, did not apply for bail in Campbelltown Local Court on Thursday after being charged with 23 new offences, including sexual intercourse with a child under 10, inciting a child to engage in sexual acts for abuse material, and producing child abuse material.
NSW Police said the sex crimes squad’s child exploitation internet unit launched the probe under Strike Force Trawler in September, targeting an online group allegedly sharing bestiality content and child abuse material in Sydney.
Last month, detectives arrested two men, Adams and a 38-year-old, who were both charged with bestiality and child abuse material offences.
Electronic devices seized during the raid allegedly contained more than half a million files depicting child abuse.
The arrested men remain before the courts for those alleged offences.
Following further investigations, Adams was re-arrested at a property in Orangeville, in southwest Sydney, on Wednesday.
After the 23 new charges were laid, Adams was refused bail in Campbelltown Local Court on Thursday.
He is set to return to court next month on all his charges.
