Ibi byaha byakorewe mu bigo byita ku bana muri leta ya Queensland no mu mahanga, harimo n’u Butaliyani, hagati y’umwaka wa 2003 na 2024.
Griffith yemeye ibyaha 307 birimo gusambanya abana ku gahato inshuro 28 no gukora amashusho y’urukozasoni ashingiye ku bana. Ubushinjacyaha bweretse urukiko ko aya mashusho n’amafoto Griffith yafata, yayasangaga ku mbuga z’umwijima zizwi nka dark web.
