Claire Stray, the wife of Hamish Tait, who is accused in what is described as Australia's largest childcare sex abuse scandal, has reverted to her maiden name and sold the couple's marital home. Tait has been accused of offenses alleged to have occurred at numerous childcare centers and preschools across Australia.
Stray, who previously went by Claire Tait, is also reported to have been a director of a childcare center. The Daily Mail reports that she was the director of Fit Kidz at Rouse Hill. A tribute to Claire Tait, now known as Claire Stray, was posted by the daycare center in 2023.
Tait's alleged offending reportedly took place at locations including Alasan Cottage Preschool, Amata Anangu School, Beaumont Hills OOSH, and Fit Kidz Learning Centres in various locations. The list of alleged locations spans multiple states in Australia.
The marital home has been sold, and Stray has reverted to her maiden name, Claire Stray. Her husband, Hamish Tait, had his identity revealed by a court last week. The details of the allegations against Tait have been the subject of significant media attention in Australia.
