A victim of a pedophile counsellor wore a wire to a meeting with his abuser in a bid to catch him out.
The victim recalled St Paul’s School counsellor Kevin John Lynch told him that headmaster Gilbert Case had called during the meeting to check the teen hadn’t beaten Lynch up.
The man’s brother read his testimony to the child sex abuse royal commission in Brisbane on Wednesday.
In the testimony, he recounted the moment, at 19, he realised the depravity of sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of Lynch at the prestigious Brisbane school in the 1990s.
“It came out of nowhere and hit me like a bomb that I must to go to the police,” he said of his epiphany.
He subsequently went to the Boondall police station and was able to organise a meeting with Lynch at the counsellor’s home.
