When local businessman Les Tyack walked into the
Torquay Surf Club change rooms one day in the summer of 1986-87, he
encountered a scene that struck him as "very odd" — George Pell with
three boys he estimates were aged between 8 and 10.
"I said, 'Hi George', and at that time he was
towelling, had the towel going across his shoulders drying his back, but
he was facing three young boys standing about three or four metres
across from him," Mr Tyack told 7.30.
