Mr Cox is currently on bail for all 11 charges, including four of indecent treatment of a child under 16, two of making observations or recordings in breach of privacy genital or anal region, and five counts of making observations or recordings in breach of privacy.
He appeared in the Cairns Magistrates Court before Magistrate Mandy Bowen on Thursday.

His matter has been adjourned to January 19, 2023 when his appearance will be excused.
His bail was renewed under the same conditions.
