A Central Coast couple are facing more than 260 charges relating to the alleged physical and sexual abuse of a teenage boy.
In February 2021, detectives attached to Brisbane Water Police District established Strike Force Bloomsbury to investigate the alleged supply of prohibited drugs – mainly methylamphetamine and MDMA – on the Central Coast.
“As a result of inquiries, strike force detectives executed a search warrant at a Narara home on Friday 26 February 2021, where they located and seized a number items, including swords, knives, knuckle dusters, an electronic stun device, mobile phones, methylamphetamine, MDMA, cannabis and cash,” NSW Police said in a statement today.
“Following an analysis of the items seized, strike force detectives commenced an investigation into alleged child sexual offences committed against a teenage boy between 2016 and 2020.”
A 48-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were subsequently charged with drug, weapon and sex-related offences and remain before the courts.
“As a result of further ongoing investigations under Strike Force Bloomsbury, police charged the man with an additional 126 sex-related offences and the woman with an additional 136 sex-related offences yesterday.”
“These offences include aggravated – intentionally do sexual act with child, intentionally sexually touch child, do sexual act child filmed for abuse material and use child under 14 years to make child abuse material,” Police said.
The pair were due to appear before Gosford Local Court today.
