Story summary

Ashley Paul Griffith, a former childcare worker who is currently serving a life sentence in Queensland for admitting to offenses against 69 girls at early learning centers in Brisbane and Italy over two decades, will be extradited to face additional charges in New South Wales (NSW). The application for extradition was made by the NSW attorney-general in July and was accepted by a Brisbane magistrate on September 12. Griffith's lawyers did not oppose the application. In the Queensland parliament, Attorney-General Deb Frecklington stated that Griffith faces around 180 charges relating to children in NSW. The extradition comes after a lengthy legal process, with Griffith losing an appeal against his life sentence in June for 307 state and federal charges involving sexual offenses including rape, sexual abuse, indecent treatment, and child exploitation material offenses.
