A senior police officer overseeing a Hunter strike force into sexual abuse concealment has told a Commission of Inquiry, Peter Fox was a zealot who was obsessed with taking part in the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Humphrey told the Commission of Inquiry the detective was “beyond driven” in his attempt to be involved in the investigation into concealment of sexual abuse by Hunter priests.
“It just got to the stage where he couldn’t be told no…he continually tried to take control of Lantle,” Detective Chief Inspector Humphrey said this morning.
He said he lodged a formal complaint against Detective Chief Inspector Fox following a series of articles in the Newcastle Herald by journalist Joanne McCarthy.
