The first case involved what must be identified as a local celebrity-type priest, a media darling, spokesperson for the local diocise, Member of the Order of Australia, Newton John Award winner and conductor the Newcastle University choir. Various young men gave evidence that Father Peter Julian Brock masturbated over them and performed oral sex on one child while on school camps.
Father Brock also liked playing Strip Jack Naked card games with children. On one occasion he confessed sobbingly to the boys saying: “You don’t understand how hard it is being a priest”. I don’t think he was referring to the sexual arousal he felt from lauding his “God-given” powers over defenceless children – more so the oft’ trotted out sexual frustration by clergy defence. News media reports made mention of a troubling exchange between a mother and child – in response to her son’s allegations against Father Brock, his mother slapped his face while admonishing the child for such blasphemous words.
The ripple effect among parishioners, my family included, is profound, as this comes on the back of more than five similar cases locally in as many years. (For further info. see:www.theherald.com.au/news/local/news/.../1329844.aspx
