Camera Phone Used to Take Illegal Photos of Children

A 20 yr old Australian man is facing charges of indecent treatment of a child after he apparently took photographs of a young girl in a playground using his camera phone.

The child's parent detained the man who allegedly had taken a photograph of the young girl with his mobile phone whilst she played in a children's play area at the centre.

The 20-year-old man will appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court on October 30, charged with the indecent treatment of a child under the age of 16."
