A Dawesville man charged with almost 60 offences — including 38 child sexual abuse charges — has appeared in court.

Jackson Robert Brennan, who is accused of grooming and sexually abusing multiple young girls over several years, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court last Wednesday.

Mandurah detectives have accused the 34-year-old of using text messages and social media apps to target girls as young as 12, allegedly luring them into online conversations before arranging to meet them in person to sexually assault them.

Police allege the offences occurred between 2022 and 2025, and involved the man building trust with victims before exploiting them.

In total, he faces 59 charges — 38 of them relating to offences against children — including sexually penetrating and indecently dealing wit
