The man, 42, masqueraded as the Canadian singer to gain explicit images from children, Queensland Police said.
He was charged with 931 crimes, including three of rape, involving 157 alleged victims across the globe.
Detective
Inspector Jon Rouse called the allegations "frankly horrendous" and
warned young fans of the singer and parents to be vigilant.
"The
fact that so many children could believe that they were communicating
with this particular celebrity highlights the need for a serious rethink
about the way that we as a society educate our children about online
safety," said Mr Rouse.
