Paedophile whose victims were as young as 15 months old among Australia's worst, court toldAn Adelaide paedophile who sexually violated more than a dozen children in Australia and Thailand, and shared videos of the abuse, is described as one of Australia's worst child sex offenders.

In training for the Catholic clergy. At least he had the conviction of pleading guilty, unlike some of the clergy.
