78-Year-Old Charged in Magill Abuse Case | Melbourne News
Description
A 78-year-old man from Adelaide’s western suburbs has been charged with 55 historical sexual abuse offenses spanning 1978 to 2003, involving 29 victims—many children at the time—all linked to the former Magill training centre. This marks the first arrest by Taskforce Libero, formed in 2025 to investigate abuse at the facility, after nearly two years of investigation. Though not a government employee, the accused had access to the centre. Authorities stress their commitment to protecting victim-survivors’ identities and ensuring justice, regardless of how long ago the crimes occurred. The man is set to appear in court, with police pledging to pursue further charges as evidence emerges.
