A woman who featured on a Channel 7 show has been charged with a string of serious child abuse offences which allegedly spanned more than a decade.
The woman, who legally must remain anonymous, is facing several charges involving offences allegedly committed in multiple parts of Queensland, the Courier Mail reports.
According to the newspaper, Channel 7 has refused to confirm whether it will scrap the show that features the woman.
The alleged offences date between 2005 and 2020.
They include multiple counts of indecent treatment of children aged under 16 as well as multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, torture and assaults. One charge reads: “indecent film”.
The woman’s partner has also reportedly been accused of several assaults.
The Courier Mail claims it made several attempts to contact Channel 7 for a response about whether it will axe or alter the show and how long it has known about the allegations.
It said it received no response and Channel 7 later aired details of the allegations while omitting the fact the woman and her partner were featured on the channel.
When the outlet asked Channel 7 more questions the following day, it reportedly responded only with letters detailing Queensland laws.
The woman and man were granted bail and are due to face Richlands Magistrates Court in September and October respectively.
Channel 7 has been contacted for comment.
