Canberra woman arrested for sexually abusing 2-year-old granddaughter

A 50-year-old woman has been arrested by ACT Policing after she allegedly repeatedly sexually abused her two-year-old granddaughter and posted it to TikTok. 

Late last month, Friday 27 January, the Australian Federal Police Child Protection Triage Unit received a report of newly produced child abuse material being uploaded onto social media platforms.  

The incident was handed to the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse team and the ACT Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team.  

Yesterday, Sunday 6 February, officers executed a search warrant at a southern Canberra residence where a woman was arrested. 

The woman is set to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.  

She has been charged with aggravated acts of indecency against a child under 10 years, using a child to produce aggravated child exploitation material, and using a carriage service for child abuse materials.  

Police are urging any victims of sexual assault, including anyone who is aware of intimate images being shared without the subject’s consent, to report these criminal activities. 

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence, you can report to police by attending a police station or calling 131444. 

You can also submit an online report for historical sexual assault for incidents that occurred more than six months ago.
