A New South Wales priest forced to resign after abusing a child presided over a high profile memorial service two years after being pushed out of his job.
The now-dead Anglican paedophile priest Stephen Hatley Gray was placed on a good behaviour bond in 1990 for abusing a boy at Wyong on the central coast.
His case is a focus of a royal commission hearing into the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle.
Parishioners and the boy’s family said they were assured Gray would never practice again.
But the ABC has learned he presided over a televised memorial service in the Belanglo State Forest in honour of two backpacker victims of Ivan Milat in 1992.
