A second man has been charged with sexual offences following an investigation into alleged sexual abuse on the Central Coast.
In December 2025, police seized 120 electronic storage devices from a home in Tumbi Umbi, as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident.
Following an initial review of the devices, police uncovered a large amount of covertly filmed sexual content and detectives attached to Tuggerah Lakes Police District established Strike Force Zetter to investigate further.
