Former St Peter's College Chaplain John Mountford Murdered By Andrew Dowdell Adeliade Now July 21, 2009 http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,27574,25813715-2682,00.html FORMER St Peter's College chaplain, Anglican priest and alleged pedophile John Mountford has reportedly been murdered in Libya. Mountford, who was charged with but not convicted of sexual abuse at the Adelaide private school, was found stabbed to death at his apartment in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, where he had been living for some time. Charges against Mountford in South Australia were withdrawn in August 2007 following concerns about the state of mind of his accuser, a former St Peter's student. Mountford was charged with five counts of indecent assault, two of procuring the commission of an act of gross indecency and one of unlawful sexual intercourse. When leaving Adelaide after the charges were dropped, Mountford said he was a homosexual but denied that he was a pedophile. He claimed the court case had cost him his life savings. The victim received an out of court civil settlement from St Peter's College earlier this year. MORE TO COME. |
