Two 50-Year-Old Men Charged for Allegedly Sexually Abusing 10-Month-Old Girl

A father and his partner were charged after allegedly sexually abusing the father’s 10-month-old girl in rural NSW.

The two men, both aged 50, were�arrested in Ivanhoe, Victoria on Tuesday over charges of sexual abuse on one of the men’s baby daughter.�It’s understood the men, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, are in a relationship and live together in Melbourne.

The two men were�extradited to Sydney on Wednesday night�to face the charges.�Detective Acting Superintendent Peter Yeomans, commander of the Child Abuse Squad, said they were lost for words to describe how horrific the allegations were.

Police said that the men allegedly travelled to�Bathurst, a small town in central western NSW�on April 19, 2015 and looked after the baby girl while her mother was at a training course.

Unknown to the mother, the�men allegedly sexually abused the 10-month old girl�for three hours and allegedly took photos of her that they later uploaded to their computers.

Police will allege that, in a Skype conversation two days later, the father’s partner spoke to an associate and said: “I want to drug the little one and really have a good time…the mother is a f–king bitch though…& I hate her”.

In a Skype conversation with another associate prior to the trip in April, he allegedly said that they were “going away to play with the baby for a few days”.�”[The father] and I will have time on our own with her,” he said. “Incest turns me on so much.”

Victorian police searched the home of one of the associates in March this year. When they searched his computers, they found materials that prompted them to search the Ivanhoe home of the two 50-year-old men, where they�found images of the baby girl and Skype conversations in their computers.

The father has been charged with two counts of sexual intercourse with a person under ten years and the production, possession and sharing of child pornography, while the father’s partner has been charged with sexual intercourse with a person under ten years, as well as further child porn-related offences and use of a child under 14 years to make child abuse material.

They were both refused bail.

The girl, who would now be just over two years old, was out of harm’s way.�”The little girl is fine. She is in care at the moment,” DCI Yeomans said.
