Yolanda Maria Borucki, 59, was charged in September with one count of using a restricted computer service and causing more than $5000 in detriment.
Borucki is the former colleague of Gold Coast childcare worker Ashley Paul Griffith, 45, who has been charged with 1600 offences involving the alleged sexual abuse and filming of children.
Griffith's identity had previously been protected under Queensland law which prohibited the naming of people charged with rape and sex offences until they were committed to stand trial.
New laws starting this week allow the media to name accused rapists and sex offenders, unless they obtain a suppression or non-publication order.
The change was a recommendation of the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce in 2022, and bring Queensland into line with all other states and territories except the NT.
Griffith appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court in August on 1623 charges, including 136 counts of rape and 110 counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10.
He is due back in court on November 6.
Police claim Borucki downloaded and shared her former employer's files on some of Griffith's 91 alleged victims.
Court documents show Borucki, who no longer works in child care, was charged on August 15 by a member of the Queensland Police task force Argos, a unit that tackles online child sex abuse.
The charge related to Borucki allegedly accessing confidential records on children at a care centre on August 3 from her home in Brisbane.
Borucki had previously appeared in a TV news program and said she had reported Griffith almost two years ago for inappropriate behaviour towards young children.
Borucki, from the east Brisbane suburb of Wellington Point, was granted bail last month.
She was not required to appear when her case was mentioned in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Solicitor Zane Playle, acting on behalf of Borucki's defence and the law firm Behlau Murakami Grant, told the court he was requesting disclosure of copies of statements from the arresting officer and the childcare centre operator.
The prosecution did not oppose the request and the matter was adjourned to November 1 at the agreement of both parties with Borucki's bail to continue.
