The married father of twin babies who allegedly kidnapped a little girl from a Kmart store and took her into bushland to sexually abuse her has been identified.
Sterling Free, a 26-year-old furniture store worker, from Morayfield north of Brisbane, was arrested on Monday after he allegedly lured a seven-year-old girl away from her mother at Westfield North Lakes two days earlier, and drove her to a bush area more than 30km away.
The terrified child was then driven back to the shopping centre and released, then taken for medical treatment.
Married father Sterling Free, 26, appeared in court on Tuesday charged with taking the girl from a Westfield shopping centre in North Lakes, north of Brisbane
Her alleged attacker was charged with taking a child for immoral purposes, deprivation of liberty and indecent treatment of a child.
The man's identity cannot be revealed after a Queensland magistrate decided on Wednesday that it was in the interests of 'fair justice' to continue a suppression order on his name.
However, his name and details about his family have been widely circulated on social media.
Magistrate Trevor Morgan said he did not want the accused man 'to be lynched' on social media and in the court of public opinion.
'I entirely support the position taken by the police in not disclosing more information. Less information would have been more helpful,' Mr Morgan said.
'What I need to bear in mind is the public's behaviour,' he said.
The man did not apply for bail, which was formally refused.
He will remain in custody until his next court date in February next year.
The furniture worker allegedly drove the girl to bushland in Pumicestone Passage before sexually assaulting her
Detectives allege the man - who was previously seen in a photograph wearing a T-shirt reading 'only God will judge me' - approached the girl at the shopping centre on Saturday
Outside the court, a man wearing a tshirt with 'paedophile execution squad' written across the back of it said he was there in support of the child victim.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal the accused attacker is known to child protection services in QLD and has previously been investigated by police for alleged attacks involving children.
Until his arrest, the man was working at a Fantastic Furniture store, and had previously worked at Australia Zoo in the catering section.
At the furniture store on Wednesday, the manager said he was 'unable to comment' on the staff member's charges.
On the man's Facebook page, people commented and threatened him with death and 'hoped he would die painfully'.
'I'll be praying to god that you get raped and tortured and then murdered after you've suffered,' one wrote.
