A senior policeman giving evidence at the Special Commission of Inquiry into institutional sexual abuse in the New South Wales Hunter Valley has accused Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox of making outrageous claims.
The Special Commission is looking into Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox’s claims that he was ordered to stop investigating two Maitland-Newcastle priests, Father Denis McAlinden and Father James Fletcher.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Humphrey was the manager of Strike Force Lantle and Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox’s supervisor.
He has told the inquiry that allegations made by Peter Fox that he was locked out of the investigation into a cover up of child sexual abuse by members of the Catholic Church are outrageous.
