A NSW detective who claimed to be blowing the whistle on the investigation of sex abuse in the Catholic Church may himself have hindered any prosecution and endangered a pedophile victim, an inquiry has heard.
The NSW special commission of inquiry has heard the detective, Peter Fox, leaked to a Fairfax reporter, Joanne McCarthy, a copy of a confidential witness statement given by the victim.
