How was one of Australia's most notorious paedophiles able to operate in plain sight for two decades?
ABCGriffith preyed on young children in his role as a childcare worker. A wolf in sheep's clothing Over his two-day sentencing this week, the court heard Griffith had recorded 4,000 images and videos of the abuse in childcare centres across Queensland, NSW and Italy, labelling them with the names of the victims and the type of sexual offending involved. A Queensland police officer, whose child was abused by Griffith, described him as "a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing". During the time that police believe her daughter was being abused and afterwards, the centre Kate's daughter attended was rated as "exceeding" the national standard. This week, the court heard a child at one Brisbane childcare centre had told her mother she was alone with Griffith in a fort when "he patted her on the bottom and the vagina".
