New findings from Royal Commission into Child Sex Abuse

A Royal Commission into child sex abuse has been told nothing was done about a Newcastle Scout Leader, despite serious concerns being raised against him.

The public hearing in Sydney has today heard evidence about Steven Larkins and his questionable behaviour.

Former Stockton-based Scout Leader, Mr. Armand Hoitink, has also told the ABC that he never felt comfortable about Larkin's behaviour.
 
Mr. Larkins is currently serving gaol time for aggravated indecent assault and child pornography offences.
