THE
royal commission will hold a public hearing into the Catholic Church’s
handling of child sexual abuse allegations against paedophile priest
John Joseph Farrell.
Farrell, or “Father F” as he was
known, is one of the state’s most notorious paedophile priests and is
serving 29 years’ jail for 79 offences after preying on young children
while he was a Catholic priest in Moree, Tamworth and Armidale.
