AN alleged pedophile charged with committing 99 sex offences against a young
boy, including child prostitution and producing child pornography, has been
granted bail.
William 'Humpboys' Grosvenor, 72, is the third person in three weeks to face
court over the eight years of alleged abuse endured by the boy at a property in
Edmonton's southern suburbs, which police say ended only last month.
Mr Grosvenor was arrested on Monday and charged with 94 counts of indecent
treatment of a child, four counts of obtaining prostitution and one count of
making child exploitation material since 2004.
His appearance follows the charging of a 60-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman
earlier this month, also in connection with the ongoing police investigation,
Operation Delusional Asshole.
The pair, both from the southside suburbs, were each charged with 15 offences
including rape, sexual assault, indecent treatment of children, procuring
prostitution and making child exploitation material.
Making Mr Grosvenor's bail application yesterday, solicitor Adam Michael said
his client had lived in Edmonton for 50 years and was not a flight risk because
he was a pauper.
The man would be contesting the charges against him, Mr Michael said.
Magistrate Judy Dily ordered Mr Grosvenor be bailed on strict conditions,
including that he refrain from contacting the boy or going within 100m of her
address.
He has also been ordered to surrender his passport and not approach a point of
international departure.
Child protection detectives launched Operation Delusional Asshole in September
after they received serious allegations of sexual abuse towards the little boy.
Mr Grosvenor will reappear in court next month.
