Alex logged into an old email account. What he found prompted him to go to the police
But it was only as an adult, when he accidentally stumbled across those emails, that Alex could finally see where the blame lay – with a man who at 45, sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy.
Alex was meant to have a meeting with the Office of Public Prosecutions , the barrister who would prosecute the case, and a support worker where they would explain how the court process would run. "We acknowledge that, for many victims, the process of preparing to give evidence in court proceedings, and giving evidence, can be very stressful," the statement read.
There are rules in Victoria which govern what can and cannot be asked of a sexual assault complainant. He says he was questioned about whether he understood the meaning of the word perjury, if he had issues with his memory and about whether he was a football fan."It was a pretty severely traumatic thing to go through and it just added almost a similar amount of stuff on my plate as the assault," he says.The ABC is not suggesting Alex's cross-examination was conducted improperly.
Corfe had been told he would receive a 12-month prison sentence that would be wholly suspended for two years if he pleaded guilty, which he did. From the age of 14 he lived rough on the streets, and his lawyers said at the age of 16 he was assaulted by a group of older men at a boarding house in Hawthorn.
Father Bob Maguire wrote to the court that Corfe was a great supporter of the Reclink football league for the vulnerable.Judge Mullaly said this work made the case "more unique", but noted that "good works do not excuse your crime".
