Overview
- A jury found Joshua James Capps not guilty on all four charges after about two and a half hours of deliberation.
- He had faced one count of rape and three counts of indecent treatment linked to his 2023 work at a C&K childcare centre in Geebung.
- Capps testified that he denied all wrongdoing and said he paid an IT specialist to repair corrupted CCTV because he believed it would clear him.
- Prosecutors argued he exploited routine educator-child contact in open areas to offend without drawing notice.
- Police told the court much of the centre’s CCTV was corrupted and some files could not be recovered, underscoring how missing footage and very young children’s accounts can shape such cases.
