Australia’s worst pedophile, Ashley Griffith, has had boiling water poured over her by another inmate at a Brisbane jail.

Australia’s worst suspected pedophile has been rushed to hospital with excruciating burns to his face after another inmate doused him with boiling water.

Ashley Paul Griffith, 45, was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with burns after another inmate at Wolston Prison allegedly assaulted him on Friday.

Griffith was allegedly assaulted in the S3 unit around noon by another inmate who threw boiling water on his head.

It is understood that the water may have been combined with the jam to worsen the burning effect.

The alleged attack comes a day after Griffith was named for the first time since he was accused of allegedly sexually abusing 91 young girls over the past 15 years at childcare centres.

Griffith is facing 1,623 child abuse offenses after allegedly assaulting young girls at childcare centers in Brisbane, Sydney and overseas between 2007 and 2022.

He has been charged with 136 counts of rape and 110 counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10 years old.

At least 23 of his alleged victims were said to be between the ages of one and five.

Griffith’s identity was revealed for the first time on Tuesday after a change in Queensland law allowed those accused of sexual assault to be identified before they were committed to trial.

He had already spent a year in the defense unit in Arthur Gorrie Prison, where he had gained a job in prison industries.

After his identity was revealed, prison officers transferred him to a detention unit for his own safety after other inmates found out about what he had allegedly done.

He was intermittently placed in the ‘special management unit’ at Arthur Gorrie before being transported to Wolston.

“Unit s3 is for the most protected prisoners who make the media and the worst sex offenders,” an officer. told the Courier Mail.

A Queensland Correctional Services spokeswoman confirmed to the publication that an inmate assaulted two other inmates at Wolston.

“One inmate was evaluated by medical staff at the scene without requiring treatment and the other was transported to the hospital for further evaluation,” she said.

No officers were injured in the incident.

The incident has been referred to the Queensland Police Service’s Correctional Services Investigation Unit.

The prisoner is believed to have mixed the jam with boiling water, which made the effects of the burns more severe.

Court documents reveal the extent of the heinous allegations against Griffith.

Police will allege that Griffith raped one of his victims 28 times and sexually abused a further 54 times.

Another young girl was allegedly raped 27 times and sexually abused 34 times, court documents state.

A third girl was allegedly raped eight times and abused 24 times over three years.

If convicted of all the offences, Griffith would be considered the worst pedophile in Australian history.

Earlier this year, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Griffith bragged about his childcare experience and discussed how he helped children ‘develop their identities’ in a now-deleted online profile.
