The Christian Brothers have agreed to pay for the cremation of child sexual abuse victim Barry Wilson, who is dying of liver cancer, a victims advocate says.
Mr Wilson was sexually abused when he was about eight years old at the Christian Brothers’ St Augustine’s Orphanage in Geelong.
He gave evidence on Tuesday to the royal commission into child sexual abuse from his hospital bed in Kerang. Mr Wilson was filmed reading aloud his police statement so the evidence could be used in a police investigation into the abuse after his death.
