A relief teacher who worked at seven schools across Adelaide has faced court accused of possessing material showing children being sexually exploited.
Dylan McCrossin made his first appearance before the Adelaide Magistrates Court today, flanked by his lawyer and his mother.
McCrossin, 39, of Norwood, has yet to plead to one count of aggravated possession of child exploitation material and one count of possessing child exploitation material.
Under Commonwealth law, the offence is said to be aggravated if the material depicts a child or children under the age of 14 years.
McCrossin was arrested by the SA Joint Anti Exploitation Team in July, prompting the Department of Education to notify parents at seven schools.
He was granted bail following his arrest that included conditions banning him from engaging in any child-related work or volunteering.
On Monday, Craig Caldicott, for McCrossin, asked the case against his client be adjourned for 14 weeks to take instructions.
Magistrate Simon Smart agreed and remanded McCrossin on continuing bail.
