Detectives from the Sunshine Coast Child Protection and Investigation Unit have investigated reports of alleged explicit content circulating online, in connection with a Noosaville school.
A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said, “Police worked with the school throughout the investigation.“
“A 12-year-old Noosa Heads boy has been dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act for one count of use of carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.“
The material reportedly included AI-generated pornography, depictions of child exploitation, bestiality, and covert recordings of teachers and students.
Good Shepherd Lutheran College principal Anthony Dyer stated, “This is an extremely serious matter that goes against the values we uphold as a College.“
“As such we are treating it with the utmost urgency and care, and are undertaking a comprehensive and considered response.”
An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported that several students involved in the scandal were expelled.
“Whilst internal College disciplinary processes will be ongoing, it is untrue that students have been expelled or asked to leave the College in relation to this matter,” a Good Shepherd Lutheran College spokesperson stated.
