An organisation supporting victims of child sex abuse has called for a full investigation into an alleged incident involving abuse of a primary schoolboy by a Wollongong priest in the 1980’s.
The claims against the priest, who is now an academic at the University of Wollongong, were aired as part of a court case into another Wollongong Catholic priest and former teacher, Father Patrick Kervin.
The allegation was aired in Albion Park local court on October 16, 2015.
The case was previously investigated by the Wollongong Archdiocese of the Catholic Church.
It was also referred to the NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione and the Sex Crimes Squad with no charges laid.
But Nicky Davis from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, says a more thorough investigation is needed.
