The lawyer for a Queensland university lecturer accused of posing as Justin Bieber online to procure child porn failed to show up for his court date, a court has heard.
Queensland University of Technology law lecturer Gordon Douglas Chalmers appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday morning charged with more than 900 child sex offences.
They included more than 270 charges of making child exploitation material, more than 230 counts of using a carriage service to solicit child porn and six charges of indecent treatment of a child.
Asked what was happening with the charges, Mr Chalmers seemed surprised his lawyer was not there.
"Is my legal representative not there your honour? I was expecting them to be there," he said, appearing via video link.
The accused asked for a slight adjournment to find out where his lawyer was but the magistrate denied the request.
He was remanded in custody to face a committal callover on May 2.
