Qld: Pedophile priest jail term extended
A priest who confessed his child sex crimes to former Brisbane Anglican Archbishopand now Governor-General PETER HOLLINGWORTH has been sentenced to more time in jail.
70-year-old former Anglican priest, JOHN LITTON ELLIOT, was jailed last year for molestingfive boys more than 30 years ago.
Today he was ordered to serve another three months on eight additional charges involvingtwo former students from Brisbane's Anglican Church Grammar, also known as Churchie.
During the hearing, Brisbane District Court Judge WARREN HOWELL criticised Queenslandcorrection authorities for failing to start ELLIOT on a rehabilitation course.
The court heard ELLIOT is willing to take part, but is on the long waiting list.
Judge HOWELL also said child sex offences are proliferating in courts all over thestate and a deterrent is more than important.
ELLIOT pleaded guilty to 28 child sex charges and was jailed for two and a half yearsin March last year.
