Man, 69, charged over alleged sexual assault acts in Moreton, Qld

A 69-year-old man who operated an ice cream van has been charged with indecent assault of children after police raided his home.

A 69-year-old ice cream van operator has been charged following an investigation into alleged sexual offences against two children and a woman in Brisbane’s Moreton region.

Detectives allege the man inappropriately touched the victims – two girls and a woman known to him – in separate incidents between January 2024 and April 2025.

The alleged offences occurred in the suburbs of Redcliffe, Newport and Griffin.

On May 29, detectives executed a search warrant at a Brendale residence and an ice cream truck on the property.

Several electronic devices were seized for forensic examination and the man was taken into custody.

The man has been charged with three counts of sexual assault, one count of indecent treatment of a child under 16, and one count of common assault.

Redcliffe Detective Senior Sergeant Guy Ford said investigations were ongoing.

“We will allege the man knew two of the three victims in a professional capacity,” he said.

“Due to the nature of the offending, we believe there may be further victims and we encourage you to contact police if you have information.

“We are always thankful of people who are brave enough to share their story with us so we can investigate and work towards justice for that person.”

Police bail was refused, and the man was expected to appear in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Friday.
