Australia’s alleged worst pedophile reported to Queensland Police almost a year before arrest

One of the nation’s worst alleged pedophiles was reported to police almost a year before he was arrested for the alleged abuse of 91 girls after a colleague saw him kissing a girl at a daycare centre.

Police this week alleged the man raped and sexually abused 91 girls at 10 childcare centres in Brisbane, one in NSW and one overseas from 2007 to 2022.

One of the nation’s worst alleged pedophiles was reported to police almost a year before he was arrested for the alleged abuse of 91 girls after a colleague saw him kissing a girl at a daycare centre in Queensland.

Yolanda Borucki, who managed a chain of daycare centres, says she alerted Queensland Police to the alleged kissing in October 2021 and said the alleged offender would take children outside with a mattress and blankets to play in a fort.

“They [had] been placing a few mats under the fort when the children [had] been climbing and when they decided they want to have a little nap they will be able to lie down under the fort [sic],” she told Nine.

“He apparently was organising.”

Ms Borucki said on one occasion she saw the alleged offender rubbing a girl’s arm before he kissing her on the forehead.

She said when she later confronted him the alleged paedophile said “We are all here like a family.”

Police this week alleged the man raped and sexually abused 91 girls at 10 childcare centres in Brisbane, one in NSW and one overseas from 2007 to 2022.

The childcare worker allegedly shared images and videos on the dark web with members of a site called The Love Zone in 2013 and 2014, The Australian understands.

Ms Borucki said another childcare worker saw the alleged offender, who cannot be identified, kissing a girl inside the fort and a complaint was sent to Queensland Police who cleared the man but did not check his home or devices.

Ms Borucki said the man claimed to have been whispering in the girl’s ear to wake her up and the childcare worker who reported the kissing resigned after he was cleared.

“[Alleged offender] explanation was this person could not see very clearly under the fort because it’s quite [a] dark space,” she said.

Ms Borucki said the alleged offender would get close to the children’s families who continued to defend him as she tried to manage him out of the daycare centre.

After the man was charged, Ms Borucki said she copped backlash from parents for letting him stay at the centre.

“A few just walked in and took their child and said they are never going to be back,” she said.

Ms Borucki was made redundant one day before the man’s arrest on Monday and has been on sick leave since June after she was hospitalised for mental health reasons.
