Horrifying new allegations emerge in triple-rape case that will shock Australia – as court told how accused ‘tied up one victim to rape her…and turned on her mother’

A 39-year-old New South Wales man, Christopher Ridings, faces further allegations in a case involving three women and more than seven years of alleged abuse. Court documents say he assaulted one woman and her mother, detained the woman with the intention of having sex with her, and filmed another person without consent in an incident shortly before his arrest.

Police say they found 2.5 million images linked to the alleged abuse, and Ridings has been charged with 210 offences; he remains in custody, with his case due at Wyong Local Court on 8 December. A second man, Marcus Roy John, 41, has also been charged with three counts of sexual intercourse without consent, relating to alleged assaults in November 2024, February 2025 and May 2025; he was refused bail and is due in court on 9 December.
