Former Sydney childcare worker Ashley Paul Griffith, 48, has been hit with 202 further child abuse charges, days after he was extradited from Queensland to New South Wales, according to a report by Australian Associated Press carried by The Guardian's report.

New South Wales police said the charges include child rape and relate to 23 alleged victims aged between one and five at an inner Sydney childcare centre, The Guardian reported.

The Guardian described Griffith as one of Australia's most notorious paedophiles and said he faces hundreds more child abuse charges in total, including for the alleged rape of children as young as one.

The Guardian's summary of the report said the 202 charges date back to earlier periods, but the excerpt available to it cuts off before stating the full time span covered by the offences, so the period is not established in the reporting available.

The report said the new charges were laid days after Griffith was moved from Queensland to New South Wales, where he is now facing the additional allegations, according to The Guardian.

The available summary does not include any response from Griffith or his legal representatives, nor does it say when he is next due before a court or how he has pleaded to the new charges. Australian Associated Press is the credited author of the report published by The Guardian.
