Geelong Grammar paedophile skips the country

A paedophile who taught at Geelong Grammar has evaded a new investigation after an inter-agency bungle let him return to Ireland, Fairfax has reported.
Victoria Police failed to flag its investigation to the Immigration Department before it deported him after serving a sentence in Queensland for child abuse.
The new investigation centred on alleged incidents from the late 1960s to 1980.
The Irish citizen was accused in last year’s federal child abuse Royal Commission of fondling a pre-teen Geelong Grammar student while performing a sex act in church, stroking a six-year-old’s genitals in bed, and instructing senior students to perform sexual acts in underground rooms.
Victims now fear it could take years before the man, whose identity has been suppressed by the Royal Commission, faces justice.
An extradition bid could also fail if the 74-year-old is deemed mentally or physically unfit to face trial in Australia.
Victoria Police declined to comment on the matter.
