I wonder if he is locked up for offences against his (her) grandchildren. That is something else that was being investigated back in December 2015. Time enough for any charged offences then to have gone to trial. And something that would be kept way under the radar, because it involved children administered by FACS.
I tried to look up that investigation, just now. But mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) this link has been removed, so has the cached copy.

Family Services quizzed ‘person of interest’: Children were removed from tradesman Bill Spedding’s care
The Daily Telegraph
January 27, 2015
The mother of one of the children who had lived with the Speddings said she now wants the child back. “
They should be home with me,” the mother, who cannot be identified, said.
Mr Spedding had been initially interviewed by FACS workers on December 9 last year in an inquiry separate to the Tyrell case.
Following a call from CrimeStoppers, the homicide squad turned their attention on Mr Spedding in mid-December without knowing about the December 9 FACS inquiry.
Police have investigated some alleged inconsistencies in what he told them about his movements on September 12
The mother who wants her child back said she was informed by FACs in December it was investigating Mr Spedding but would not tell her why.
The same month Port Macquarie detectives tried to contact her, she said, adding that she was horrified when she saw news reports of police searching the Speddings’ home.
“I saw Bill Spedding on TV and I rang FACs,” the mother said.............
The mother said her child was removed from her home by FACs because of a domestic situation. She has turned her house into a shrine to the lost child.
The child’s room is untouched and she has not taken the Christmas tree down since the child was removed early in 2011..................
A spokesman for FACS said yesterday: “As this matter is subject to an ongoing police investigation, FACS is unable to comment any further.”
