Horrific new details of alleged daycare monster Joshua Dale Brown - as he's accused of committing 18 sex crimes against children in one day at Melbourne centre
A man charged with 73 child sex offences allegedly committed a significant proportion of them on a single day. It can now be revealed police allege childcare worker Joshua Dale Brown, 26, committed 18 offences on April 28, 2022, while working at a Melbourne daycare centre. The revelations follow a Daily Mail Australia report that indicated a child linked to a daycare centre Brown worked at had been infected with a sexually transmitted disease. Sources close to the investigation claimed a young child had been diagnosed with gonorrhoea. Charge sheets released to the media late on Tuesday suggest police allege Brown is accused of committing 18 offences on a single day while working at a Point Cook centre, in Melbourne 's west. The charges linked to that day include multiple counts of sexually touching an unknown child aged under 16, engaging in a sexual activity in the presence of an unknown child under the age of 16, and the production and transmission of child abuse material. He was allegedly at it again just weeks later, police claim, charging him with even more offences on May 31. Again, the alleged offences related to sexually touching a child, and producing and transmitting child abuse material. Five months later, police alleged Brown engaged yet again in sexual activity in the presence of an unknown child aged under 16, as well as multiple counts of sexually touching an unknown child aged under 16 and producing and transmitting child abuse material. Two months later, on December 2, 2022, it's alleged Brown sexually touched an unknown child aged under 16 and produced and transmitted child abuse material. That same day, police allege Brown contaminated food with bodily fluids. It is this alleged crime that sparked a massive public health warning, with the parents of 2,000 children urged by authorities to have them tested for infectious diseases after Brown's alleged offending was revealed on July 1. On December 15, 2022, detectives allege Brown attempted to sexually penetrate a child under 12 years of age. It was the very same day they claim he also sexually touched an unknown child aged under 16 and produced child abuse material. Police allege Brown's offending carried on into the following year, when he allegedly struck again during the summer school holiday period. On January 10, 2023, Brown allegedly 'took part in an act of sexual penetration with an unknown child under the age of 12 years' using his penis. On the same day, police allege he also 'intentionally took part in an act of sexual penetration with an unknown child under the age of 12 years' using his finger, sexually touched an unknown child under the age of 16 and produced and transmitted child abuse material. The remaining charges are alleged to be linked to various dates between July 17, 2023, and December 5, 2023, and in January and May of this year. Brown had worked at a total of 23 childcare centres over an eight-year period between January 2017 and May 2025. On Tuesday, Brown fronted the Melbourne Magistrates' Court, where the court heard Victorian detectives still faced a mammoth task to finalise their case against the alleged child molester. Brown has engaged top Melbourne barrister Rishi Nathwani KC to head his defence. In attempting to have his client's charge sheets withheld from the media, Mr Nathwani revealed the case against his client remained very much 'in flux'. An affidavit supplied by detectives to the court said the investigation was incomplete and needed more time to compile the final brief of evidence against Brown. 'Your honour has had the benefit of the affidavit which indicates that the police are working very hard,' Mr Nathwani said. 'There's quite a lot for them to get through and as a consequence your honour sees there's discussion there about potential further charges and I would say potential amendments, changes etc going forward (to the brief). 'So at this stage it's entirely premature, given how serious this is, and it could prejudice any future proceedings. 'I ask your honour to resist it, not grant it at this stage and revisit it once we have the full brief of evidence when matters are properly known and I anticipate a different summary, with more detail and potentially different charges.' While no formal application for a suppression order was made, the informal application to hide the charges from the public was opposed by the media on the grounds the court had a mandate to open justice. Magistrate Donna Bakos agreed, telling Mr Nathwani the charges were a matter of public record. 'They're filed and ordinarily the press are granted access to charge sheets ... unless there is good reason, obviously, not to,' she said. Ms Bakos granted the media access to the charge sheets. Brown's co-accused, Michael Simon Wilson, 36, faces 45 charges ranging from rape to child porn possession, transmission and production, as well as 'sexually penetrating an animal, namely a dog'. Wilson has also been charged with using a carriage service to transmit material to a person that directly or indirectly incited committing suicide. The relationship between Wilson, who is not a childcare worker, and Brown remains unclear. Charge sheets indicated both men are facing charges that were allegedly committed on the same dates, including on April 28, 2022, when Brown allegedly committed multiple counts of child abuse material production and Wilson allegedly committed multiple counts of possession and access of child abuse material. Both men will reappear in court on separate dates, with Brown not due back until February next year.

Mitchell Irvine killed in horrific jetski accident in Sydney - as shocking video emerges
The two teenage boys involved in a horror jet ski crash which saw one killed and his friend fighting for his life after his arm was severed have been identified. Noah Watkins, 14, and his 15-year-old friend Mitchell Irvine were riding a jet ski on the Georges River, in Sylvania in Sydney 's south. The pair were riding the jet ski when it crashed near the Tom Uglys bridge just after 6pm on Tuesday. Witnesses immediately called emergency services after hearing Noah's cries for help as he floated in the water. Police and paramedics found Noah in the water with one of his arms severed and pulled him out. A specialist medical team treated Noah for his severed arm before stabalising the teen and rushing him to Sydney Children's Hospital in a critical condition. Micthell was later found unresponsive in the water, with paramedics performing CPR on the 15-year-old. Paramedics where unable to revive Mitchell and he died at the scene. Police are investigating whether the friends had hit an obstacle in the water while riding the jet ski in the dark. Friends have shared heartbreaking tributes to Mitchell and wishes to Noah following the tragedy. 'Rest up lad, I'm going to miss you,' one boy wrote. Praying for you too Noah. Love you lad.' Another friend described Mitchell as having 'many great friendships' and being the 'purest boy you could ever meet'. Many others have flooded the comment section of social media videos with 'LLM' - an abbreviation for 'long live Mitch'. A friend and neighbour of Noah's dad, Farid Nagi, described Noah as the 'cutest, gutsiest, staunchest kid for his age'. 'He's tough, he's bright, he's full of life and he's always happy... he's a beautiful kid that has so much to live for,' Mr Nagi said. 'It's devastating... it could damage the rest of his life. His friend passed away, the one that's always with him. It's a tragic moment for everyone.' It comes after Noah shared several videos on Instagram of him riding his jet ski with his friends and performing other dangerous acts on the water. Several videos showed Noah speeding across the water on his jet ski. One of the videos showed him travelling at high speeds on a river before the jet ski ended up tangled in mangroves. Other clips showed two boys riding a boat on a river, with the boat's bow lifted in the air. Several other clips of dangerous acts on the waterways have also been shared on TikTok by a group of young teenagers, with Noah tagged in the captions.

EXCLUSIVE Bombshell twist as police charge the estranged husband of Mark Latham's porn star ex
The ex-husband of Mark Latham's former partner has been charged with harassment and menacing behaviour just days after he said he had nothing to do with his ex-wife. Ross Matthews was due to appear in Sydney 's Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday to face a charge of 'using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend'. The charge is believed to relate to Latham's porn star ex, Nathalie Matthews. Further details are expected to be revealed in court later today. Ms Matthews has also applied to the court for an apprehended violence (AVO) restraining order to be taken out for her protection against him. The legal twist comes just a week after Matthews insisted he no longer had anything to do with his former wife since their split three years ago. Matthews spoke out after Ms Matthews accused Latham of 'a sustained pattern' of psychological, financial and emotional abuse during their relationship. 'Please stop messaging me,' Ross Matthews posted on X after the scandal erupted. 'I don't speak to Nathalie and do not care. Thank you.' The Matthews married in 2018 but the marriage reportedly ended in 2022, before Ms Matthews began dating former federal Labor Party leader, Latham. Ms Matthews now also has a separate AVO application in court against Latham. She claimed Latham proposed to her during their affair - but he has dismissed the relationship as just a 'situationship', despite explicit texts to her also now emerging. 'The big news is I had a private life. I had a sex life and I've got to say it was fantastic,' he said on Wednesday. UK-born Mr Matthews had previously posted proudly about his marriage to his former wife on social media. 'Six months since I woke up with a killer hangover and still managed to make the best decision I have ever made!' he wrote in the wake of their wedding. In another post he added: 'Happy one year! I cannot believe how fast a year can go! 'I would be lying if I said it's been the best year of my life - in fact it's easily been the worst but it is in bad times that picking the right life partner is of the most importance! 'I just could not imagine doing life without you, love you always and here's to many years to come!' It's understood the pair, who were living in Cronulla in Sydney's south, were both Liberal Party members, and Ms Matthews stood as a candidate at the 2021 Sutherland Shire Council election. On Wednesday, Latham alleged the couple were still actually married while he was seeing Ms Matthews. 'Now The Australian is 'reporting' that I proposed to Nathalie Matthews in May last year,' he posted to X. 'They missed the joke: she was still married to Ross Matthews, and maybe still is to this day.' The former Labor leader has categorically denied he 'abuses women' and insisted all his dealings with Ms Matthews were entirely consensual. In an interview with Chris Smith on 2SM, he did not deny sending lurid texts to Ms Matthews from the floor of state parliament. But he added: 'If I'm the only person in Australia who in a work environment engaged in a bit of playful sex talk with their partner, then I'll buy everyone a lottery ticket tomorrow.' He said the AVO case against him was being brought privately after NSW Police chose to not pursue the allegations. 'There is a court case pending because she's lodged a private AVO application,' he said. 'She tried to get an AVO with the police... I think that tells you a lot about the substance of the matter. 'But I can say in relation to that, just about all the things she's complaining about, she initiated in consensual arrangements.' The domestic violence order filed in the NSW Local Court accuses Latham of subjecting his ex-partner to 'a sustained pattern' of psychological, financial, and emotional abuse over almost three years, according to details seen by The Australian. The application alleges Latham engaged in vile acts, 'including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash, forcing degrading sexual acts, pressuring me to engage in sexual acts with others, demanding I call him 'master', telling me I was his property, and repeatedly telling me that my only value to him was for sex to demean and control me'. Leaked WhatsApp messages reported by The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday allegedly show interactions between Latham and his former partner. Latham told Daily Mail Australia the outlet's reproduction of the messages was 'not accurate'. It is also not suggested the claims of abusive behaviour are substantiated, only that the allegations have been made. The leaked WhatsApp messages include a series of lewd exchanges on February 20, 2025 during parliamentary sitting hours. 'Very hard thinking about you,' he wrote to Ms Matthews shortly after 11am, before following up with a series of suggestive emojis. 'Need badly to taste you,' he wrote that afternoon, alongside an emoji of a tongue. 'Made it back for first vote after dinner,' he said at 8.38pm. Latham told the outlet the communications did not impact his work. The tranche of leaked messages includes more explicit exchanges - too graphic to publish - spanning back as far as October last year. On several occasions, Latham is referred to as 'master'. He said Ms Matthews sent him images during parliamentary sittings, 'seeking a response', and that he could not describe them due to 'an abundance of caution about the revenge porn laws'. 'I don't think responding to a consensual partner on a private, intimate matter in any way has reduced my workload, which I would match up against any other member in the place,' he told The Daily Telegraph. Ms Matthews' allegations against the politician were detailed in court documents filed with NSW Local Court. Latham has denied the allegations which he described as 'comically false and ridiculous' in a post to X on Monday night. He said he had 'scores of documents' to support his claims and that he would rely on those documents to defend himself. 'As the old saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,' he wrote. Ms Matthews, who runs an e-commerce global logistics firm based in Dubai, Perth and Sydney, has applied for an interim order barring Latham from coming within 100 metres of her. She cited 'ongoing, reasonable fear of harassment, intimidation, and potential harm'. Her application accuses the former Labor leader of throwing a dinner plate at her, forcing her to call him 'master', and pressuring her to have sex with others. Ms Matthews' filing, reported by The Australian, also alleges Latham prevented her from cleaning up after defecating on her before sex and telling her she was 'property', and telling her that her only value to him was for sex to 'demean and control' her. Latham claimed the texting did not impact his work She also alleged 'physical violence' incidents, including pushing her against walls, forcing her out a door, throwing a plate at her during a row. She also claimed he drove at her with his car, hit her with the side mirror and caused a bruise. Latham is further accused of 'systematically undermining' Ms Matthews to 'control and isolate' her by comparing her 'unfavourably to other women and acting as if he would 'harm himself' to manipulate her. Ms Matthews accuses Latham of forcing her to cover the cost of holidays abroad 'under duress', making her purchase expensive goods, and coercing her regarding her father's will for his benefit. She claims she experienced 'constant fear and hyper-vigilance' since her arrival home from a June trip abroad, alleging all past break-ups with Latham featured a repeated 'pattern of harassment and intimidation'. She alleges: 'The defendant has held intimate photos and videos of me, and I have been afraid he would expose them to shame and control me if I attempted to leave or resist his demands.' Latham denied all accusations to The Australian. 'Nothing has been served on me nor has anyone contacted me,' he told the newspaper. 'I haven't had anything to do with her (Ms Matthews) since 27 May, so nearly seven weeks ago. I ended the 'situationship' that night for very good reason.' The matter will be heard at Downing Centre Local Court on July 30.
