FORMER Christian radio station boss and evangelical preacher Dr Gary Alexander Forbes has been placed on a two-year good behaviour bond for abusing two brothers more than 50 years ago.
Forbes, now 73, who was also a pastor at Adamstown Gospel Church until he publicly admitted the offences and resigned, was sentenced in Newcastle District Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to three counts of assaulting a male and committing an act of indecency.
The offences started in the early 1960s, when Forbes himself was a teenager.
He abused one brother before moving onto his younger sibling when the older boy started in the workforce.
