	New Leads in Street Kid Abuse Inquiry By Nigel Hunt The Australian September 3, 2006 http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20338812-5006787,00.html POLICE investigating the activities of a group of men who allegedly abused street kids have received several calls concerning a man who said he worked with "books" who is connected with the inquiry. Pedophile taskforce detectives appealed for public help in the case last Sunday, asking anyone who may have information about the mystery man to come forward. They asked for anyone who may have met or have knowledge of the man who said he worked in a profession associated with books in the late 1970s or early 1980s to contact them. He was known to drive a yellow car or a larger white car. Detectives have not revealed the mystery man's role in the investigation or if he was suspected of abusing street kids. Sexual Crimes Investigation Branch operations inspector Scott Duval said several people had contacted police about the man. "Police received a good response and each call is being investigated as appropriate," he said. Police have so far made two arrests in the four-month inquiry. A former church deacon, 82, is facing multiple counts of indecently assaulting a former street kid while a prominent Adelaide legal identity, 57, is facing nine sex charges involving street kids. They include the rape, unlawful sexual assault and indecent assault of four street kids - two of them aged 15 and 16. Police have urged anyone who can assist with their investigation to call BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
