A Brisbane law lecturer who allegedly posed as pop singer Justin Bieber online to solicit explicit images from young children overseas has been committed to stand trial.
Gordon Douglas Chalmers, who used to work at the Queensland University of Technology, is charged with more than 900 child sex offences including possessing child exploitation material and using a carriage service to groom persons under 16.
The 42-year-old was charged in November 2016 but after a thorough examination of his computer, he was charged with hundreds more child sex offences including rape, indecent treatment of children, making child exploitation material and using a carriage service for child pornography.
Police allege Mr Chalmers used multiple online platforms including Facebook and Skype to communicate with his victims.
His alleged offending dates back to at least 2007.
Mr Chalmers was committed to stand trial through the Brisbane Magistrates Court registry.
He is in custody and will face the Brisbane District Court at a date to be fixed.
