WA Police said child exploitation operations squad detectives had charged the 56-year-old man, a former private school principal, as a result of their investigation into child exploitation material offences.

On Tuesday, August 27, child exploitation operations squad detectives executed a search warrant at the man’s Ellenbrook home where they seized electronic devices allegedly belonging to the man.

Police alleged a forensic triage of some of the devices seized identified child exploitation material on them.
