Joshua Brown, a former Melbourne childcare worker, faces 156 charges including sexual assault, child penetration, and production of abuse material, with four new victims identified in allegations spanning March 2019 to February 2025.
The charges involve four childcare centres in Point Cook, Williamstown, and Keilor, with no new centres added beyond the 23 previously linked to Brown.
He has been in custody since May and is due in court on February 10, 2026.

Premier Jacinta Allan called the case a breach of public trust.
Support services remain available.
