Person of interest in Tyrrell case has 90 criminal offences against him
The person of interest in the William Tyrrell case allegedly has 90 criminal offences against him one of which is indecent assault of a child.
'Tony' Jones, 59, was jailed last week for three years for aggravated indecent assault of a minor, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The Wauchope man has a criminal record which spans over four decades and includes assault, drugs and robbery charges.
Jones' white Toyota Camry wagon matched the description released in September and was detained for forensic examination.
He is currently being investigated by Strike Force Rosann – the detectives investigating the Tyrrell case.
Dating back to 1989 Jones was imprisoned for hitting two women.
He was part of a group called GAPA (Grandparents As Parents Again).
Police believe this group is linked to a paedophile ring in the area.
It has been more than a year after the then three-year-old vanished from the front yard of his grandmother's home at Kendall on the NSW mid-north coast.
Earlier this month a station wagon has been seized by authorities investigating the disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
