SUNSHINE Coast Child Protection Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for information after charging a 21-year-old Caboolture South man with 28 sexual and property offences.
Police allege the man used his volunteer role as a group leader to access children at a Landsborough campground, where multiple incidents occurred between 2022 and 2024.
Investigations began in December 2024, following reports the man had been observed looking into bathrooms occupied by children.
It is further alleged he entered tents to steal children’s underwear and engaged in stalking and inappropriate treatment of children now aged between 13 to 16.
A search warrant executed on May 5 at a Caboolture home allegedly uncovered multiple pairs of children’s underwear and electronic devices now undergoing forensic examination.
The man was arrested the same day and is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on June 16.
Scouts Queensland is actively assisting QPS with its investigation.
