A bid to fast-track the interstate transfer of a former childcare worker accused of hundreds of sex offences is rejected, according to reports.
The attorney-general seeks to have the case moved to another state to face a large number of charges. However, the application to accelerate the transfer fails, meaning the matter does not proceed on that expedited timetable.
The West Australian and PerthNow report the same procedural development: the attorney-general’s request to fast-track the transfer is unsuccessful. Both outlets frame the decision as bringing the defendant’s movement to the other state “step closer,” but still contingent on the outcome of the transfer process and court directions following the failed fast-track bid.
