Former Australian childcare worker Ashley Paul Griffith has been sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 27 years after pleading guilty to 307 child abuse charges involving 65 girls in Queensland and four more overseas. Griffith, described as one of Australia's worst paedophiles, committed these crimes while working as a nursery school worker. The case has been characterized by authorities as 'depraved' and 'beyond the realms of anyone's imagination.' The sentencing marks the conclusion of one of the most significant child abuse cases in Australia's history.
