Story summary

Ashley Paul Griffith, a former childcare worker serving life in jail in Queensland after admitting to sexually abusing 69 girls over two decades at early learning centers in Brisbane and Italy, will be extradited to face additional charges in New South Wales (NSW). A Brisbane magistrate approved the extradition on July 13, following an application by the NSW attorney-general, Michael Daley. Griffith faces around 180 charges involving 23 girls at a childcare center in Sydney between 2014 and 2017. At his hearing, a victim supporter yelled "rot! brimstone! burn!" expressing anger towards Griffith, who appeared impassive during the proceedings.
