Bishop Accused of Abuse in Kimberley | Australia News
Description
A retired bishop faces 26 sexual assault charges tied to alleged abuse of young Aboriginal men in Western Australia’s Kimberley region between 2008 and 2017. One victim testified he was lured to a hotel room after church, subjected to unwanted physical contact, and later assaulted while intoxicated near a lake. Prosecutors allege Saunders exploited church funds and alcohol to groom and assault boys, with victims describing coercion and manipulation—including being called “one of my best” after abuse. Saunders, 76, denies all charges as the trial continues in the West Australian District Court.
