Bank executive charged with procuring under-age girls for sex found dead

Christopher James McCann, a Commonwealth Bank executive charged with procuring under-age girls for sex, has been found dead in the Gold Coast hinterland, as confirmed by police. His body was discovered in Springbrook National Park on Wednesday.

McCann had recently been extradited from Sydney to face court in Queensland. He appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday regarding the charges against him.

His arrest occurred last week in Sydney, where he appeared at Central Local Court. Detectives from Brisbane subsequently applied for and secured his extradition to Queensland.

McCann faced a single charge: using the internet to procure a child under the age of 16 for sex. He was 50 years old at the time of his death.
