A photographer has been labelled a 'committed paedophile' after he gained the trust of parents and sexually abused their children in a string of sickening attacks.
Kye John Tanson, 41, fronted Brisbane District Court on Wednesday for a sentencing hearing after he pleaded guilty to 60 child sex offences that were committed between 1997 and 2015, Courier Mail reported.
Of the charges, 11 include counts of rape against 15 children - nine of the victims were girls, six were boys.
Prosecutors have labelled Tanson a 'master manipulator' and 'committed paedophile'.
Tanson met his victims, mostly teenagers, in the Wide Bay and south-east regions of Queensland, through activities such as board game meet-ups, single parent support groups, medieval re-enactment events or his tutoring job.
