Queensland police have appealed for “extra vigilance” among young Justin Bieber fans after laying hundreds of extra charges against a man accused of posing as the singer to groom children online. The man has been charged with 931 child sex offences after detectives allegedly uncovered a cache of new evidence in his computer. The man was charged on Thursday with rape, indecent treatment of children, using a carriage service to procure a child under 16 and making child exploitation material. Police from the child protection task force Argos said the new charges followed a “thorough examination” of his laptop, which allegedly contained a large amount of child exploitation material indicating offending dating back at least a decade. The man is accused of using Facebook, Skype and other online platforms to communicate with his victims.
