One of Australia’s most notorious paedophiles is facing hundreds more child abuse charges, including for the alleged rape of children as young as one.

Days after being extradited from Queensland to New South Wales , Ashley Paul Griffith was hit with 202 charges dating from between 2014 and 2017, with police labelling the allegations “deeply disturbing”.

The Queensland man was working at a childcare centre in Sydney’s inner west at the time of the alleged offending, which included dozens of alleged rapes against children between one and five.

Griffith, 48, was jailed for life in Queensland in November 2024 after he pleaded guilty to more than 300 child sexual offences against nearly 70 victims.

The fresh charges from NSW include 68 counts of rape of a child aged less than 10 and 42 counts of aggravated rape of a child aged less than 10 who was under his authority.

Other charges include 69 counts of aggravated indecent assault and 23 charges of producing child abuse material.
