In Sydney, a 63-year-old teacher has been arrested and charged with conspiring to sexually abuse two children in his care — a plot allegedly coordinated with a 35-year-old man over more than a year of digital communications. The case came to light not through a single act, but through the patient work of forensic investigators who found, within seized mobile phones, a record of intent. It is a reminder that the spaces where harm is planned have shifted — and that the tools used to conceal wrongdoing can, in time, become the very evidence that exposes it.
