Asia One
Wednesday, Feb 10, 2016
An Australian Catholic priest who was accused of child sexual abuse has moved to Malaysia, where he is reported to be seeking the friendship of young Asian men on a gay dating website.
Sydney Morning Herald today (Feb 10) reported that Father Peter Grasby, who was suspected of abusing boys from at least two Melbourne parishes during his almost 40 years as a priest, left Australia for Kuching in East Malaysia’s Sarawak state last month.
Father Grasby was also alleged to have propositioned a former parisher on a gay dating website, reported the news site.
Father Grasby reportedly describes himself as a 66-year-old Catholic who “happens to like younger Asian men” aged from 18 to 35 in his profile on gay dating website Planetromeo. But he is not looking for sex, because he is “getting a bit too old”, according to the profile.
