A convicted paedophile accused of molesting boys across three states has denied he’s ‘delusional’ to proclaim his innocence.
Gregory Robert Knight started his teaching career in South Australia where he was found to have touched the penises of at least three teenage boys during school camps in 1977.
He then moved to Queensland and worked at Brisbane Boys’ College, where he was again subject to allegations of abuse.
In 1981, he successfully applied for a job as a music teacher at St Paul’s School, also in Brisbane, but resigned three years later after a student came forward with more complaints of misconduct.
A move to the Northern Territory followed, where he ultimately pleaded guilty and was convicted of 15 counts of child sexual offences in 1994.
But Knight on Tuesday told the child sex abuse royal commission many of the claims against him were baseless.
