The Anglican Church has revealed “continuing
distress and sadness” in its Perth diocese as Archbishop Roger Herft
yesterday admitted to being told on three occasions that a senior priest
had abused children but had raised the allegations only with the
clergyman involved.
Appearing before the Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Archbishop Herft faced a
second day of questioning in Newcastle about his knowledge of child sex
offences in the NSW Hunter region in the 1990s and early 2000s.https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/32476877/i-was-fooled-by-priest-on-sex-abuse-herft/#page1
