A Sydney teacher has been charged after police allegedly uncovered communications between him and a 35-year-old Randwick man already facing serious child sexual assault offences.

The 63-year-old was taken into custody at about 8am that morning.

When officers seized three mobile phones from the younger suspect, forensic examination revealed messages showing the two men allegedly planning the sexual assault of two children linked to the teacher.

Investigators say the exchanges took place between June 2024 and July 2025.

“Police allegedly discovered an exchange between the 35-year-old man and a high school teacher from June 2024 and July 2025, plotting the alleged sexual assault of two children known to him,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.

The teacher was arrested at his Bondi home and now faces two counts of incite to commit an aggravated sexual assault with others and using a carriage service to solicit child abuse material.

He was refused bail and appeared in a bail court on Thursday.
