A FORMER Devonport Anglican priest who sexually abused eight boys was being reintegrated into the community yesterday - five days before his Parole Board hearing.

It is understood Garth Hawkins was allowed "reintegration" time after being released from Risdon Prison for about four hours.

The Advocate understands he spent time in the Hobart (including the waterfront) and Glenorchy central business districts.

At least two of Hawkins' victims recently criticised the Department of Justice Victims Support Service for failing to contact them about supplying a victim impact statement before Friday's hearing.
