A former Marist Brother jailed for child sex offences has been questioned about why he fled Australia within days of being told of a police investigation into his activities.
Greg Sutton is the first convicted paedophile to be called before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The decision to call Sutton as a witness this morning was unexpected.
He spent 12 years in jail for abusing boys and girls while working as a teacher at Marist Brothers schools in New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT in the 1970s and 1980s.
