A former assistant bishop of the Anglican church in Tasmania will give evidence today at a sex abuse royal commission in Hobart.
Ronald Francis Stone was contacted in 1995 by a former student of Hobart’s prestigious boys’ school Hutchins, claiming he had been sexually abused by a headmaster in the 1960s.
The church has links to the Hutchins board, but Bishop Stone is reported to have told the complainant it had no legal authority in the running of the school.
