A church official in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia who exposed the child sex abuse cover-ups in an Anglican diocese has disclosed that he has been subjected to attacks by unidentified vandals.
Director Michael Elliott of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle professional standards board on Thursday testified before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that he had to transfer residences several times because of the attacks.
He said spiked objects were placed under his car, the fly screens were removed from his children’s bedrooms and his dog is now missing, according to News.com.au.
Elliott told the Royal Commission, which is investigating the child sex abuse scandal, that the diocese made a move to undermine the board as it began investigating the case against four clerics and a teacher.
