Police have charged a Central Coast couple with over 260 additional charges following an extensive investigation into the alleged ongoing physical and sexual abuse of a teenage boy.

Following an analysis of the items seized, strike force detectives commenced an investigation into alleged child sexual offences committed against a teenage boy between 2016 and 2020.
A 48-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were subsequently charged with drug, weapon and sex-related offences and remain before the courts.
As a result of further ongoing investigations under Strike Force Bloomsbury, police charged the man with an additional 126 sex-related offences and the woman with an additional 136 sex-related offences yesterday (Thursday 24 February 2022).
