School For Disabled Sued Over Sex Abuse TWO disabled men who as boys suffered five years of sexual abuse at the hands of notorious pedophile Brian Perkins have launched a civil lawsuit in the District Court. Known only as X and Y, the men - who have Down syndrome - are seeking unspecified damages from Perkins, St Anne's Special School and the Catholic Church. Defence papers have not yet been lodged with the court. In their statement of claim, the men say the memories of their childhoods will continue to be "dominated" by the abuse. "They are unable to recall many favourable experiences of their childhood as a result," the court documents say. In 2003, Perkins pleaded guilty in the District Court to two counts of causing or inducing a child to expose his body, two of indecent assault and one of inciting or procuring a child to perform an indecent act. The court was told that between 1987 and 1991, he videotaped, photographed and sexually assaulted three boys with Down syndrome who attended the school where he worked as a bus driver. He also volunteered at the school as a woodwork teacher. Judge Jeffrey Anderson sentenced him to 10 1/2 years jail, with a non- parole period of six years. The sentence was backdated to March, 2002, when he was taken into custody. The Judge said Perkins had previous convictions for carnal knowledge from 1969 and 1974. X and Y allege St Anne's Special School and the church failed to protect them from Perkins, who they say abused them from the ages of 10 and 17 respectively. "(They) had a duty of care to ensure the plaintiffs' safety as they were persons suffering intellectual disability and (were) therefore vulnerable," the papers say. They say the school failed to properly investigate Perkins' criminal history before employing him. "(It) failed to take any... adequate steps to investigate whether or not X and Y and others had been sexually assaulted by Perkins when they first became aware of the abuse in (about) 1987," it says. "(It) failed to take any.. . action to investigate...repeated complaints by parents as to the inordinate delays in the students' daily trip home by bus or the repeated unscheduled detours referred to by the students." X and Y also claim one of the state's most infamous pedophiles, Robert Kingsley Hawkes, joined Perkins in forcing them to perform sexual acts. "The plaintiffs ... continue to suffer nightmares (and) severe depression," the documents say. "(They) will continue to have some difficulty trusting strangers, particularly men. "This lack of trust will cause them difficulties in their future career and... social life." Adelaide Advertiser (15-7-2005) Nick Henderson |

A LAWYER acting for a pedophile bus driver has been rebuked by the Court or Criminal Appeal for referring to his client as a "geriatric". Justice John Sulan yesterday said convicted pedophile Brian Bertram Morris Perkins, 67, was "not far off" his own age, and no different to other prisoners in the system. In September, Perkins was jailed for 10 years, with a six-year non- parole period, after pleading guilty to videotaping, photographing and sexually assaulting three boys with Down Syndrome from a Catholic school between 1987 and 1991. He was employed at the school as a bus driver and volunteered as a woodwork teacher and a respite care-giver, Nick Vadasz, for Perkins, argued that District Court Judge Jeffrey Anderson had failed to take into account his client's age and health problems when passing sentence. "The sentence is manifestly excessive and totally out of kilter with respect to these offences and more serious offences," Mr Vadasz said. He said his client suffered from various illnesses and medical problems, including Ross River virus, diabetes, sleep apnoea and gout. "He was a man of advanced age (when sentenced) and insufficient consideration was given to the effects of his health and age on his term of imprisonment." he said. "Jail is not typically full of geriatrics and I doubt if the prison system is set up to deal with unwell geriatrics." Justice Sulan disagreed with Mr Vadasz's assessment: "I would not regard him as a geriatric - I'm not far off his age. "He is certainly older and is well above the average age of the population in jail but there are a number of people who receive long sentences Who are of a comparable age." He said there "was nothing" in Judge Robertson's decision "to suggest error", and refused to grant leave to appeal. Outside court, a spokeswoman for Perkins' victims said they were "thrilled and relieved" at Justice Sulan's decision. Adelaide Advertiser (26-11-2004) Sean Fewster |

Paedophile Loses as Boys' Pain Goes On VICTIMS of pedophile bus driver Brian Bertram Morris Peritins continue to struggle with their recovery - even though their tormentor has lost his last chance for a reduced sentence, perkins, 67, will serve his full six-year non-parole period after the Court of Criminal Appeal unanimously rejected his second appeal yesterday. He was jailed last November for 10 years for videotaping, photographing and sexually assaulting three Catholic schoolboys with Down syndrome between 1987 and 1991. He was employed at their school as a bus driver and volunteered as a woodwork teacher and a respite care-giver. He abused the boys both alone and in the company of other men. Yesterday's decision was welcomed by both the families of the victims and the Catholic Church. But a family spokeswoman said the boys found it hard to cope without the counselling that had been paid for by the church until it made its "gift of love" - an unconditional $2 million compensation package to victims of church sex abuse, "Some of the victims are moving ahead in leaps and bounds - but all were doing better with the counselling," the spokeswoman said. As soon as (the church) made the 'gift of love', all counselling stopped being paid for -even for people who hadn't accepted their packages. "Some counsellors have kept it up on a voluntary basis but others have refused." Catholic Archbishop Philip Wilson said "more than 95 per cent" of affected families had accepted the "gift". "I re-emphasise my concern again for the students and their families, which is the reason why I made the offer of a gift to them last year." he said, "It will assist them in supporting these young people into the future, including counselling if parents decide that is what they need." Yesterday's decision by Chief Justice John Doyle, and Justices John perry and Ted Mullighan, means Perkins has exhausted all legal avenues. Chief Justice Doyle said the fact Perkins had not re-offended did not mean he had rehabilitated. "It is like someone saying they committed an armed robbery five years ago, have only now been caught but did not commit any more crimes in-between," he said. "So what? Sometimes the lack of further offending says something positive about the person - but it does not here." Adelaide Advertiser (19-2-2004) Sean Fewster |

Paedophile Bus Driver Did Not Act Alone, Victims Tell Counsellor A FORMER Catholic Church school worker jailed tor sexually abusing several intellectually disabled boys had not acted alone, it was claimed yesterday. A psychologist counselling some of the victims of the jailed pedophile, former bus driver Brian Bertram Morris Perkins, 67, said they had told him of ,'systematic abuse by a number of men". "There is no doubt in my mind that we're talking about a ring ot pedophiles, not a single man who behaves inappropriately on a bus," Malcolm Robinson said. "I am told by my clients that other people were involved. That story is consistent from one boy to the other to the other." Mr Robinson said he had forwarded details of the allegations to police working on a child abuse taskforce. Bertram was sentenced last month to 10 years' jail, with a six-year non-parole period, after pleading guilty to videotaping, photographing and sexually assaulting three boys with Down Syndrome who attended St Ann's Catholic School, Marion, between 1981 and 1991. A police spokeswoman said any allegations by victims would be investigated. Mr Robinson also accused the Catholic Church of "washing its hands" of the victims of the abuse. Last month, the church offered families of three of Perkins's victims $100,000 each in unconditional financial compensation. Another 10 families were offered £15,000 each and 21 victims were offered $50,000 as part of a $2.1 million compensation package. But Mr Robinson claimed there were strings attached to the payments. He said the victims - whom he had been counselling after being approached by the church - had to pay for their own treatment from November 23. "The Catholic Church at that point washes its hands of this matter," he said. He also called for the church's Vicar General, Monsignor David Cappo, to resign from his position as head of the State Government's Social Inclusion Unit. "I'm not making any personal judgment about David Cappo whatsoever," Mr Robinson said. He said Fr Cappo was in a "key position advising the Premier and advising the Archbishop in relationship to matters such as this". A spokeswoman for the church said Fr Cappo would not comment on Mr Robinson's statements. Adelaide Advertiser (22-10-2003) Melissa King |
