Fresh allegations against accused paedophile Joshua Brown as parents sent shocking e-mail about conduct

The allegations are separate to the 70 charges he is facing from his time at a Melbourne childcare centre.

Accused paedophile Joshua Brown “aggressively” manhandled children in his care, according to a new report published by The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.

Last month, Brown, 26, was charged in relation to eight victims who attended a Point Cook childcare centre between April 2022 and January 2023, which include 70 offences.

The newly uncovered allegations are unrelated to the earlier charges.

G8 Education sent a letter to families on Saturday that Brown was at the centre of two separate investigations, which were reported to Victoria Police and the education department.

In April 2023, Brown was investigated after he was accused of aggressive conduct towards a child. “(He) aggressively picked up and put down and did not uphold the dignity and rights of a child in his care,” the e-mail said.

The allegations were reported by three team members.

Brown was given a “written formal warning” and placed on an improvement plan for his work performance following the alleged incident. Brown opted to take extended leave after the disciplinary action.

In a separate alleged incident in 2024, Brown “forcibly grabbed the arm of one child, the leg of another child and forcibly pulled off that child’s shoe”, according to the e-mail.

He was suspended during the second investigation and eventually resigned.

At this time, Brown had a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).

Despite recent claims Brown was not known to police, the e-mail confirmed the incidents were reported to Victoria Police.

The allegations did not spark a review of his WWCC, which allowed him to work at other centres.
