Police allege a man secretly recorded the sexual abuse and physical mistreatment of three women on the New South Wales Central Coast over a period of about seven years. The accused, Christopher John Ridings, is charged with more than 200 domestic-violence-related sex offences, with authorities alleging the conduct was filmed without consent.
According to reports, investigators uncovered a large volume of electronic material during a search of a Tumbi Umbi home, including multiple electronic storage devices. Outlets report police allege they later identified millions of files that document the alleged abuse, which are being reviewed as part of a forensic examination.
While the outlets agree on the core allegations and the number of charges, they differ in how they describe the extent of the evidence and the specifics of what police found during the search—such as the number of devices and the scale of file storage—rather than on the overall allegations.
