WHEN Sydney journalist Geraldine Willesee sat down to practise internet searches on a rainy afternoon she never thought she would expose the priest who molested her and the following 49-year cover-up by the Catholic Church.

But those few clicks on the internet would eventually lead to the suspension of Father Brian Gerard Harris and expose files likely to be highly pertinent to the impending royal commission into child abuse.

Willesee was a naive 14-year-old girl in Osborne Park in Perth when Fr Harris began to groom her.

The daughter of prominent Labor Senator Don Willesee, she endured a difficult time during her schooling, prompting the priest to single her out.
