Shocking details of a priest who abused children in the confessional and
threatened parishioners at gunpoint emerged at the Child Abuse Royal
Commission last month. Doveton parish priest Father Peter Searson molested children in the
confessional, and sexually abused a nine-year-old altar boy every
Saturday for six months.
Searson paid the boy a pittance to do chores around his home, and told the boy the sexual abuse was the devil punishing him for his sins. Searson was known to carry a gun and a large knife, which he once held to a child’s chest.
