- Offence category
- Indecent assault of a child
- Offence
- He was convicted in January 2008 of indecently assaulting a person under 16 and jailed for 20 months. He did not declare the charges when he applied to renew his osteopath registration in May 2007, and did not tell the Osteopaths Registration Board within seven days of the criminal proceedings or the conviction, as the law required. Convicted (January 2008) of indecent assault of a person under the age of 16; sentenced to 20 months' imprisonment. Failed to declare the charges and to notify the Board.
- Outcome
- Found guilty of professional misconduct and not fit to practise. Barred from applying for re-registration for only five years, counted from his May 2008 suspension (so he could reapply from 2013), and banned from allied health work (including massage, aromatherapy and acupuncture) until re-registered. The Osteopathy Tribunal of NSW (HCCC prosecution) fixed a five-year bar backdated to 2008 rather than a permanent one, leaving a convicted child sex offender able to seek re-registration.
