A Perth grandma facing child exploitation material allegations in connection with disgraced author Craig Silvey has been hit with more charges.

Glenda Joy McGregor, 68, appeared in the Joondalup Magistrates Court on Friday via video link from Bandyup Prison, where she is being held in custody over child exploitation material charges and failing to comply with reporting obligations.

Ms McGregor is accused of producing and distributing offensive material in 2022 and producing material in 2026.

Her lawyer, who was not in court, requested the matter be adjourned until June 22 when Ms McGregor will face an additional three charges.

Ms McGregor has been charged with producing and possessing child exploitation material and failing to comply with reporting obligations.

It is not known how Mr Silvey and Ms McGregor are known to each other, but she was arrested following forensic analysis of Mr Silvey’s electronic devices earlier this year.

The author was first charged with possessing and distributing child exploitation material in January when police raided his Fremantle home where he lived with his wife and children.

He was charged with further offences after police examined devices that were seized from his property during the raid.

Mr Silvey is out on strict bail conditions and pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing and distributing child exploitation material last month.

He is an award-winning author known for his best-selling book Jasper Jones along with other titles Runt and Honeybee.

His books Runt and Jasper Jones were adapted into Australian feature films.

Mr Silvey’s books were removed from shelves and school reading lists and his publishers Allen & Unwin and Fremantle Press stopped promoting his books following the charges.
