A Catholic school teacher from Perth has been charged with online child exploitation offences after police carried out a warrant at his home this week.

Detectives from the Child Abuse Squad executed a search warrant at the man’s Tuart Hill home on Monday.

They seized several electronic storage devices belonging to the man.

A preliminary analysis of the devices has allegedly identified over 1000 images and videos containing child exploitation material.

The 29-year-old man has been charged with possessing child exploitation material, distributing child exploitation material and intent to expose a person believed to be under 13 to indecent matter.
