The full extent of accused sex offender Joshua Dale Brown’s work history in Melbourne childcare centres has yet to be disclosed to the public.
Police were still working with service providers, particularly national childcare giant Affinity Education, late on Friday to piece together an accurate picture of Brown’s movements around the sector during his almost nine years as an early childhood educator.
A new and full list of times and places where Brown worked is expected to be released in coming days, as sources familiar with the matter but not authorised to speak publicly warn there will be significant additions to information that has been made public.
But police said on Friday that all the providers Brown had worked for since 2017 were co-operating fully and that the delay in full public disclosure was justified by the need for all the details, some of it supplied in recent days, to be thoroughly checked.
