Bill Spedding, a man once identified as a person of interest in the disappearance of William Tyrrell, is now facing historical child sex charges in Victoria.
William ‘Bill’ Harrie Spedding of Bonny Hills is expected to front Ballarat Magistrates Court today to face five charges of indecent assault and two of sexual intercourse with a child under 10 years old.
According to the SMH the alleged offences date back to the 1980s and relate to a girl Mr Spedding knew.
Spedding, 65, has previously been questioned by police investigating the disappearance of three-year-old William, but has always denied any involvement.
“I wish to state that I have had no involvement whatsoever in the disappearance of William Tyrrell,” he said in the September 2015 video.
William Tyrrell was last seen wearing a Spiderman costume on Friday, September 12 at 10.30am as he played with his sister in the front yard of their grandmother’s home on Beneroon Drive, Kendall.
Spedding became connected to the Tyrrell case after it was revealed he had been in touch with William’s grandmother about fixing her broken washing machine.
Family share their outrage

We should all be outraged that for whatever reason, the ‘somebody’ who knows something is not coming forward.
Outraged, that this ‘somebody’ is keeping a terrible secret…. If you are the ‘somebody’ who knows anything of William’s abduction, how long can you live with that?
