THE wife of a Salvation Army officer has told how she apologised to the mother of an eight-year-old who he had sexually assaulted.

“She was very forgiving,” Lieutenant Colonel Kerry Haggar told the child sex abuse royal commission today.

“She told me not to worry about it.”

Lt Col Haggar said her husband Colin, who was also a lieutenant colonel in the Salvos until he was finally dismissed earlier this year, had told her what he had done in late 1989 when they were living in a western NSW town.
