Drugged and vulnerable in a paedophile counsellor’s office, the student pleaded “Please don’t do this”, the child sex abuse royal commission has heard.

But it didn’t stop Kevin John Lynch, an infamous abuser of boys at two Brisbane schools, from sadistically molesting him.

Now 33, the victim told the child sex abuse royal commission he endured a horror session with Lynch in 1996 where the counsellor sprayed an immobilising drug into his mouth, put “unbearable” pressure on his body and inserted a hypodermic needle into his penis.

Lynch then briefly performed oral sex on the boy, at that time a student at St Paul’s school.

But when, alongside another victim, the student went to then-headmaster Gilbert Case to complain about their treatment, their concerns were swatted away, he said.

“In his opinion [we] were lying,” he told the commission on Wednesday.
