Pedophile, 68, Given Viagra


AN elderly pedophile was prescribed Viagra by doctors for four years, it was revealed last night.
One doctor continued writing prescriptions for the sex-aid drug even after the then 68-year-old man was diagnosed with two sexually-transmitted diseases.
The doctor is Geoff Stewart, who is now the most senior doctor in Aboriginal health in the Northern Territory.
He was a central witness in a TV program about child sex abuse on the indigenous community of Mutitjulu in Central Australia.
Dr Stewart said he complained about child sex abuse to police and the NT's Family and Community Services.
This was last night confirmed by the NT Government, which said the information was passed to police.
"FACS did receive child protection reports made by Dr Stewart while he was in Mutitjulu. The details of these reports are confidential to protect the identity of the children involved but the reports were assessed and investigated as appropriate at the time," Territory Health Department Spokesman Tim Pigot said.
Dr Stewart wrote on the pedophile's medical record: "Using Viagra to have sex with very young girls."
The Viagra story was broken in the Canberra-based National Indigenous Times yesterday by journalists Chris Graham and former Territory Walkley Award winner Brian Johnstone.
The pedophile, who has left Mutitjulu and now lives on an Aboriginal community in South Australia, first went to the doctor for erectile dysfunction in 2000.
Dr Stewart, who now works in Darwin as a senior medical officer with the Aboriginal Medical Service Alliance Northern Territory, left Mutitjulu in late 2002.
The pedophile is reputed to have cruised the community at night in his four-wheel-drive preying on young girls.
In a written statement, Dr Stewart told the National Indigenous Times: "In working at Mutitjulu I, at all times, adhered to all professional and ethical standards, and am confident of the integrity of my conduct.
"I made notifications and gave statements to the relevant authorities.
"It's the integrity of the government services' response that deserves questioning."
