Convicted SA sex offender Ray Partridge member of Adelaide Triathlon Club, which is frequented by children young as five
A FORMER church youth worker who sexually abused two boys in the 1980s is a member of a triathlon group that is frequented by children as young as five.
The Advertiser can reveal Ray Partridge — convicted, in the District Court, of multiple child sex crimes — is a member of and volunteer at the Adelaide Triathlon Club.
His involvement with the club is now the subject of inquiries by Triathlon Australia, the sport’s national governing body.
One of Partridge’s victims, known as “Clifford”, yesterday told The Advertiser he hoped those inquiries would result in the sex offender’s expulsion for the sake of young members.
He said photographs of Partridge on the club’s Facebook page had left him upset and dismayed at the thought of children being at risk.
