Australian Pedophilia Report Author Confesses to Sex Crime

Michael James Crowley, a psychologist well known in Australia for co-authoring a report on pedophilia in the Anglican church, has pled guilty to "child sex" himself. Prosecutors say that Crowley initiated an inappropriate relationship with the complainant from "early days", first telling her he loved her when she was 12 years old.

Director of Public Prosecutions Tim Ellis, SC, said the woman involved had come forward 20 years later out of disgust at Crowley's hypocrisy in never displaying any remorse or taking responsibility for his actions while developing his work as a psychologist into areas of clinical care with vulnerable people. Mr Ellis said in 1997 Crowley accepted a commission from the Anglican Church of Tasmania to conduct an inquiry into sexual misconduct by clergy and church officials, with particular reference to paedophilia.

Needless to say, this has also called into question the integrity of the report. Many details at the link
