Childcare worker charged with indecent acts, assault of children

A childcare worker is set to face court on Monday after he allegedly indecently assaulted two children and physically assaulted another at a daycare facility.

ACT Policing in a statement said they received reports this month from two parents about alleged indecent assaults that had been committed against their children at a Canberra daycare facility.

Following a police investigation, a 28-year-old man, of North Canberra, was arrested on Sunday.

He has been charged with two counts of indecency acts against a child under 10 years and one count of common assault.

Police said his employment at the childcare facility had recently been terminated.

Support is being provided to the facility and families involved in this matter.

Police urge any complainants of sexual violence to report matters via phone on 131 444, attend a police station or report via the ACT Policing website.
