The specific convicted child abuser is a man called John Hamilton Buckley.

A former Geelong Grammar housemaster, who was also renowned among Australia's arts community, has been jailed for seven-and-half-years for sexually abusing six boys in his care more than three decades ago. As the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse continued its focus on the prestigious school in the Victorian County Court building on Friday, John Hamilton Buckley sat in another court room as judge Jane Patrick condemned his "disgraceful" and "predatory" offending.
Buckley sexually abused six boys aged between 10 and 13 between 1980 and 1983, when he was a teacher and housemaster at Geelong Grammar's junior school Glamorgan in Toorak. Among his victims were two brothers, another boy who was indecently assaulted while in the sick bay and another who was told to pretend Buckley was Bo Derek and to "make love" to him. Buckley used pornographic material, dinners outside the campus and a card game similar to strip poker to manipulate the boys before offending. The parents of one of his victims notified the school's principal at the time, the court heard, but nothing came of the complaint. It was not until June 2013 that he was arrested. He later pleaded guilty to five charges of indecent assault on a male, three of indecent assault, three of gross indecency and single counts of sexual penetration with a person aged between 10 and 16 and possessing child pornography, the latter related to the discovery at his holiday home of 96 photographs of the boys. Judge Patrick said victim impact statements were powerful, moving and outlined the "terrible harm that child abuse such as this causes".
Paphitis in order to try and defend his political narrative about the excellence of such schools as Geelong Grammar, repeatedly claimed such sexual abuse had not happened at Geelong School at all, that no one had been jailed for such things, that all there had been were 'allegations' but nothing proven, that such 'allegations' were 'farcical and those who were accused were probably extremely distinguished people who served the school with utter and complete professionalism and diligence." He claimed that only allegations had been made to a commission only, when in fact this convicted child sex offender was arrested, placed on trial, judged in a court of law, found guilty and sentenced to jail time.
Such behaviour by Paphitis is abhorrent to me because when he publicly posts such things, such distortions, such lies, as far as I am concerned he is not just speaking to 'us' he is speaking also to the victims of this depraved sexual predator, to their parents , their family and friends. All simply to try and defend his own personal political narrative. I am created the poll to see if it is abhorrent to others as well. Unlike some I do not just claim such things are abhorrent to 'everyone'.
When cyprusgrump then actively comes on to this thread to simply to tell me to fuck off for creating it for no other reason that he is politically aligned with Paphitis, rather than just say nothing, as far as I am concerned that then makes him also complicit in such abhorrent behaviour.
