Ashley Paul Griffith is a former childcare worker who worked in Queensland and New South Wales. In 2024, he admitted to more than 300 offences against nearly 70 children in Queensland and was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 27 years before he can seek release.
The NSW allegations concern 23 girls and are said to relate to a Sydney childcare centre between 2014 and 2017. They are separate from the Queensland offences, so the NSW case will examine allegations under that state’s law.
