Well, I guess it's a wait and see whether the charges against Mulroy hold up and he is found guilty or not.

Having said that, one thing's for sure...there's a string of past abuse at his former school in Australia and appears it was entrenched in the culture there..

And even if Mulroy is found innocent, he sure does have an awful lot of pics of young boys on his FB. I know he's a teacher at a boys school and all but the volume of pics plus some associated comments, I have to agree with Cam Nivag there is a creepiness factor there and he does seem to have an over the top interest in these boys.

Australian teacher Garry Mulroy has been arrested in Cambodia on child sex charges relating to boys aged 11 to 14.

An Australian former Catholic private school teacher has been arrested in Cambodia and charged with child sex offences.

Anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection police in the Cambodian tourist town of Siem Reap arrested Garry Paul Mulroy, 69, on charges he sexually abused six boys, aged 11 to 14.

The Siem Reap Provincial Police allege Mr Mulroy persuaded the six boys, who are from poor families, to have sex with him in exchange for food and money, the Khmer Times reported.

The alleged child sex crimes took place at Mr Mulroy’s rented home in Slorkram, just 6km south of Siem Reap’s major attraction, the World Heritage Angkor Wat temples.

On his Facebook page, Mr Mulroy has posted photographs of himself surrounded with boys and young men.

Mr Mulroy is a former teacher at Lismore’s Trinity Catholic College in northern New South Wales.

In 2014, Mulroy was hailed a hero after he led a tour of Trinity College Year 11 students to Siem Reap on a trip to build houses for poor locals.

Mr Mulroy said at the time the trip had reinforced his faith in the goodness of Australian youth.

“These nine young men gave their all, physically and mentally, to make a difference to the desperately poor,” he told the Northern Leader newspaper at the time.

Brother John Hilet, the principal at Trinity Catholic College said news about Mr Paul's arrest came as a shock to students and staff.

'You're shocked in any situation like this ... (but) certainly there's a large group of former students who would all think highly of him,' he told The Northern Star.

Brother John explained the school regularly partakes in the overseas trips and that Mr Paul prepared the Cambodia session.

'He and another brother helped establish that particular immersion,' Brother John said.

'As soon as I was made aware of the allegations, I cancelled this year's immersion.'

He said if anyone is aware or has any information regarding allegations of child abuse to go straight to the police.

I always thought it was spelled "nunce'' as in Not Under Normal Communal Exercise in prison lingo between guards.
By the way, not being a @#$6 grammar guy but there is a difference between pedophilia and pederastry.
Unfortunately this will never end, it is happening all over the world and has been for centuries (or since mankind).
Personally I would like to see all those who commit sexual acts towards children be terminated.

Cambodia court to weigh Australian's case

By Luke Hunt
Australian Associated Press
7:27AM February 27, 2020

Retired Australian teacher Garry Paul Mulroy is hoping allegations he molested young boys while volunteering in Cambodia will be annulled when his case is heard by an appeals court in Phnom Penh next week.

The court will decide whether or not to drop charges against Mulroy, 64, who allegedly persuaded six boys, all from poor families, to have sex with him in exchange for food and money.

If convicted he faces 15 years imprisonment for soliciting children for prostitution, after spending the past year inside Siem Reap Prison with bail denied.

Mulroy's defence commissioned a report by Ross Milosevic, a Gold Coast-based risk management consultant, into his arrest.

It followed a 10-month investigation that found the charges were a bid by police, NGOs, judiciary and government officials to extort money.

"This is a common occurrence and practice in Cambodia within the judicial process that has provided a lucrative minority of government officials and corrupt defence lawyers to work hand in hand with an extra bonus or what I call, reparations," Milosevic said.

He said police interviews with the six boys were not conducted with adult/parental supervision or legal representation and were made "under extreme duress, intimidation and extortion", and made to ensure charges against Mulroy would secure a conviction.

"These interviews were a clear violation of Cambodian and standard police procedures," he said, adding this was grounds for the case to be annulled when heard by the appeals court on March 6.

Copies of the report alongside requests for help have been sent to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Foreign Minister Marise Payne, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, the attorney-general and the head of the Australian Federal Police.

"Garry's friends and supporters have been advised to prepare for the worst but hope for the best by his lawyer, simply as a result of the corruption that he faces within the Cambodian justice and law-enforcement systems working together in a well-organised extortion ring within small-town Siem Reap," said a letter to the prime minister signed by Joel Saye, who holds power of attorney over Mulroy.

In response, a letter from Payne's office said the Australian embassy in Phnom Penh was monitoring Mulroy's case and offering consular assistance.

"However, as you appreciate, the Australian Government must respect the legal processes of another sovereign country and cannot intervene in it's judicial processes," she said.

Mulroy, a former teacher at Lismore's Trinity Catholic College, led a group of Year 11 students to Siem Reap in 2014, where they built houses for Cambodia's poor.

He moved to Cambodia and worked as a volunteer for Feeding Dreams Cambodia (FDC) and the Cambodian English School of Higher Education Organization (CESHEO), Milosevic said, before later establishing Education House with the six boys as his initial students.

According to local press reports, Khoem Vando, a child protection specialist with Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), has claimed Mulroy brought the boys, aged 11 to 14, to his home in the commune of Slorkram where he allegedly sexually abused them in November 2018.

Milosevic said there was a close and "extremely pertinent" relationship between FDC and it's director Kerry Huntley.

His report sent to Mr Morrison includes a statutory declaration from another expatriate who spent time with the boys after Mulroy was arrested.

"Each of the boys clearly stated that Garry had done nothing inappropriate to them," the declaration said.

"I can honestly say these boys were never abused by the accused. The boys' honesty and demeanour showed no attitude that they were ever mistreated or abused sexually in any way," it said.
