A man accused of indecently treating children has been charged with more than 200 additional offences.
The 35-year-old initially faced a total of five charges when he was recently arrested in far north Queensland, police said.
However, on Saturday he was charged along with hundreds of others after investigators reportedly found additional child exploitation material on his electronic devices.
