A male childcare worker employed by the same company as accused paedophile Joshua Brown has vowed to fight his own child abuse charges.
The Affinity Education employee has been charged with nine counts of intentionally sexually touching a child under 10 years of age and one count of rape.
It remains unclear if all the charges relate to one or multiple victims.
Further details cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
The man has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains out on bail.
He is due to face court on July 23 for a hearing.
The news comes a week after Melbourne childcare worker Joshua Dale Brown was charged with more than 70 child abuse offences, including the sexual penetration of a child and producing child abuse material.
Brown also worked at multiple childcare centres owned by Affinity Education.
More to come.
