The former Australian head of a worldwide Catholic religious order was
sentenced to jail on 28 August 2015 for child-sex crimes. Father Julian
Fox, 70, of the Salesian order, was found guilty of indecently
assaulting boys at two Melbourne schools. The crimes occurred between
1976 and 1985. After these crimes, Father Fox was appointed as the
Australian head of the Salesian order.
Later, the Salesians allowed him to flee to Rome, thus enabling him to evade Australian police — until the police eventually got him back to Australia to face the courts. During the sentencing in 2015, Fox's defence lawyer told the court that Father Fox is still officially a Catholic priest and still has the support of the Salesians.
