A DEFENCE lawyer for a teacher accused of child sex offences in the 1980s has again questioned a victim’s recall of events in her closing address.
Lindsay William Hutchinson, 63, is on trial accused of six charges of carnal knowledge against nature, six charges of indecently dealing with a child, and three charges of unlawful and indecent assault.
The charges relate to the repeated sexual abuse of a young Christ Church Grammar School student between 1983 and 1985, when Mr Hutchinson was the music director as well as a conductor of the school choir, the St George’s Cathedral choir and another choir that he created.
Mr Hutchinson has pleaded guilty to some of the charges, but has denied the more serious charges, including allegations of rape, and the alleged incidents occurred on school camps and at Mr Hutchinson’s then home.
