William Tyrell’s former foster father has been charged with giving false or misleading evidence.
Court documents reveal the man was charged over evidence given to the NSW Crime Commission.
The case had been subject to strict suppression orders that were revised by the Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday morning.
Tyrell’s former foster father and mother were also charged late last year in relation to the alleged assault of another child – not William Tyrrell – and have pleaded not guilty.
It emerged last year that William’s foster mother and foster grandmother were persons of interest in his disappearance.
They have both denied any involvement and no cxjmtzywharges were laid.
Tyrell disappeared in 2014 at age three, and was last seen at a property owned by the foster grandmother.
The case gained national attention and sparked a years-long search to find him.
