FOUR men who claim they were sexually abused as teenagers by a Catholic priest have written to the Governor General seeking to have him stripped of an Order of Australia Medal.
Father Hugh Edward Murray was one of 11 men charged with child sex offences dating back to the 1960s as part of investigations by Strike Force Belle.
Many of the men were priests who previously worked at Bathurst’s St Stanislaus’ College, where many of the offences were alleged to have taken place.
Murray had faced five counts of sexual assault involving three boys between 1966 and 1978, but did not stand trial after he was found to be mentally unfit.
