The NSW Special Commission into child sexual abuse in the Hunter Valley is this morning expected to hear from the Commander of the police Sex Crimes Squad.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox has spent nearly four full days in the witness box.

His claims about being directed by his superiors to stop investigating allegations of child sexual abuse by two priests led to the Commission.

The public hearings got underway on Monday and will continue next week.

First up this morning, it is expected the inquiry will hear from Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec, who is the Commander of the NSW Police Sex Crimes Squad.
