PAEDOPHILE Maurice Van Ryn has been charged with fresh child sex offences after new victims allegedly came forward.
The former millionaire head of Bega Cheese is currently serving 18 years with a non-parole period of 13 years six months after admitting 17 offences against nine girls and boys between 2003 and 2014.
It is alleged the new offences took place between 2010 and 2011.

As well as the former CEO of Bega Cheese, Van Ryn was on a number of company boards including an investment bank and medical companies.
