UPDATED DEC 11, 2018

A 26-year-old Australian man has been charged with kidnapping a seven-year-old girl from inside a supermarket and then sexually assaulting the child behind some bushes. The man, whose identity has been kept under wraps and is reportedly a father of twins himself, was charged with taking a child for immoral purposes, deprivation of liberty, and indecent treatment of a child under 12 and made his first appearance in court this past week.

 The incident, which unfolded at a Kmart store in North Lakes, west of Brisbane, was recalled by another mother in a Facebook post. She wrote that the young girl was abducted from the shop when her mother was right there and looking at something else. The child had reportedly been bringing toys she wanted for Christmas to show her mom and was running down the various aisles before suddenly disappearing.
