Kiwi man who sexually abused five-year-old set to be deported from Australia

November 6, 2017

A Kiwi man who sexually abused a five-year-old boy offered up by his adoptive parents in Queensland is set to be deported back to New Zealand, according to Australian media reports.

Lower Hutt man Craig Edward Broadley, 43, is expected to be sent back across the Tasman within days after pleading guilty last week at the Brisbane District Court, the Courier Mail reports.

Broadley admitted to indecent treatment of a child in 2010 and 2011 and had already served his sentence while awaiting trial, making him eligible for deportation.

He was caught up in an investigation into an international paedophile ring when he travelled to Cairns from New Zealand to abuse a boy after chatting with his adopted parents online.

Australian Peter Truong and American Mark Newton are serving lengthy jail sentences in the United States for farming out the boy out after buying him from a Russia surrogate.

Broadley was extradited to Australia to face charges in February.
