The identity of the Brisbane theatre producer charged with almost 60 counts of child and adult sex offences has been confirmed as Timothy O’Connor, the former Harvest Rain Theatre Company CEO.

O’Connor was originally arrested and charged by police in November 2022, but due to Queensland’s Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1978, which prohibits premature publication of any accused person’s name or place of employment, ArtsHub was unable to name him or Harvest Rain Theatre Company at the time.
