A former Western Australian mental health nurse has been charged with more historical sex crimes after he allegedly indecently filmed children outside Perth schools.
Police allege the man, now 48, indecently filmed children in various public places, including outside several schools in the Perth metropolitan area.
Investigators seized several electronic devices that allegedly contained child exploitation material.
The man was charged with 27 indecent acts in public, 12 counts of indecently recording a child under 16 and one count of possessing child exploitation material.
The man was previously charged with a slew of sex crimes against a 14-year-old girl in his care, including 12 counts of sexually penetrating a child under 16 years.
Police say the man indecently and sexually assaulted the teenager between 2016 and 2018 while working for the WA Department of Health.
At the time of the alleged incidents, the man was a qualified mental health nurse, who worked for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in regional WA.
