A man who allegedly had a hoard of child abuse and bestiality material on multiple devices and a rifle stashed in his Central-West NSW home has been refused bail by the courts.

Following his arrest, Wolsters was taken to Bathurst Police Station and charged with two counts of possessing child abuse material, and person possess bestiality material.

He appeared at Parramatta Local Court on Sunday, April 20, where he was formally refused bail.

Wolters’ case is due to return to Bathurst Local Court on Wednesday.

Pleas are yet to be entered.
