A PAEDOPHILE who preyed on a teenage girl at a Sydney Catholic boarding school could “still be out there assaulting other children”, an anguished mother told the sex abuse royal commission yesterday.
The man, who worked as a “houseparent” at a residential cottage of the Mater Dei Catholic school at Camden, had fled to England “under a cloud” in July 1991 and never returned, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard.
The commission is investigating cases of historic sex abuse against four disabled children involving the Mater Dei school, as well as other more recent incidents at Nowra and the Gold Coast.
The alleged paedophile houseparent, who can’t be named, made meals, washed, cleaned and took care of the children at Arnold Cottage, a residential house for disabled children connected to the school, run by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan of the Order of Saint Benedict.
