Queensland wedding singer charged with 34 more offences

A Queensland singer has been charged with 52 offences allegedly committed against at least nine women, and police believe there may be more complainants.

A Queensland musician has been charged with committing 52 offences, including sexual assault, against at least nine women he connected with on dating applications and social media.

Police will allege the 34-year-old Logan man, Queensland wedding singer Daniel James Stoneman, committed the offences after using a number of dating applications and social media platforms to connect with women in the Brisbane and Gold Coast areas between 2019 and 2023.

Stoneman was charged with 18 sexual assault and related offences in March and April this year, after a search warrant was executed at a Logan address in March, where several devices were seized by police for analysis.

Detectives charged him with an additional 34 offences on Friday, following further investigations under Operation Whiskey Midfields, which was established in December 2023 following a report received by police.

The charges include 24 counts of distributing intimate images, three counts of rape and one count each of attempting to commit rape, choking, recordings in breach of privacy and unlawful stalking.

He is expected to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on May 27.

Detective Senior Constable Katherine McDonald said investigators believed there may be further alleged victim-survivors out in the community.

“We have uncovered multiple intimate images and videos where the identity of the person depicted is unknown and we are urging anyone who had contact with this man to come forward to police,” Ms McDonald said.

“We understand there are many reactions to experiencing sexual violence and deciding to make a report is a personal decision which can be difficult and confronting.

“If you have experienced sexual violence, you are not alone and it is not your fault.

“We urge anyone who has information which can assist this investigation to come forward and contact police.”

The Queensland Police Service said there were a variety of reporting options available to support people coming forward, including online at https://forms.police.qld.gov.au/launch/SexualAssault, over the phone or face-to-face at a police station.
