'Government Knew of Paedophile'

THE Government turned a blind eye to allegations that one of its senior public servants was a paedophile, it has been alleged.
Carl Francis Walker, 65, died in Royal Darwin Hospital recently after falling ill in Berrimah prison.
He was serving seven years for molesting Indonesian children.
Walker, who filmed himself abusing young boys, ran an Indonesian language course for the Territory Government.
He often accompanied official delegations to Indonesia in the 1990s and maintained a flat in Kupang, where he lured children and sexually assaulted them.
Interpreter Luciana Ferrero said many NT public servants knew Walker was a paedophile or at least had suspicions.
She said the Indonesian Embassy and Unicef investigated him in the early 1990s.
"But he was well protected by a gaggle of self-serving people who thought Carl was wonderful," she said.
"He knew how to flatter their fragile egos and make them feel important, while he was hiding behind a debonair facade.
"Many knew or suspected him ... but he was influential."
Ms Ferrero said she was accused of slandering Walker when she worked for the Government on contract and said he was a paedophile.
She said those who did nothing to stop him should "feel some guilt and shame for having looked the other way while he was destroying the lives of young Indonesian children, taking advantage of poverty and ignorance".
Ms Ferrero, who now lives in Bali, told the Northern Territory News that Walker destroyed the career of another public servant by falsely accusing him of being a pedophile.
Her former husband, Darwin-based engineer Mike Nicholls, said Walker brought boys back to Darwin.
He said he twice saw him on Kupang-Darwin flights with Indonesian children aged about nine to 12.
A senior public servant told the NT News that nobody suspected Walker was a paedophile.
"He would say he had family matters to attend to in Kupang and disappear. We didn't realise until he was arrested that he had a strange interpretation of 'family matters'."
