Knox Grammar: Former headmaster Ian Paterson backflips on earlier acceptance he deliberately misled police
By Nicole Chettle
A former headmaster of the prestigious Sydney boys school, Knox Grammar, has told a royal commission he did not try to mislead a police investigation into child sexual abuse.
This is despite, earlier in the week, Dr Paterson accepting that he deliberately tried to mislead a policewoman about matters that were centrally important to her investigation in 1996.
On Wednesday, Dr Ian Paterson told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse he provided staff files to Inspector Beth Cullen from the Child Protection Enforcement Agency.
