KUALA LUMPUR — Sarawak Immigration authorities said today (Feb 10) that they will expel an Australian priest accused of sexually abusing children in his home country, if he is found to be living in Kuching.
Responding to reports of a Father Peter Grasby who is said to have been suspended pending investigations into claims he abused two young boys and currently residing in Kuching where he is searching for “young Asian men”, the department said they will check if he has entered the state.
“We will deport the former priest if he is found to be in Sarawak,” Mr Ken Leben, who will assume duty as Sarawak’s new Immigration Department director on Feb 15, told Malay Mail Online.
Sarawak Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development Fatimah Abdullah said if Grasby has a criminal record the police should be alerted so that they could monitor him.
