He was charged with a total of eleven counts of indecent treatment of a child, three counts of making child exploitation material, and one count of rape.
Also included in the charges were six counts of burglary and two counts of willful damage.
The investigation also uncovered a number of other offences and victims in other parts of Australia.
Investigations are continuing.
Queensland Police taskforce ARGOS is dedicated to the investigation of child exploitation, and is constantly screening victim footage.
The Victim Identification Unit within the force is consistently inundated with footage shared worldwide with organised crime groups and paedophile organisations.
‘The problem is becoming, dare I say it, an epidemic,’ detective inspector Jon Rouse of Queensland Police said.
‘I have seen things and I have heard things that cannot be unseen or unheard.’
