Registered child sex offenders are visiting Aboriginal meeting places running cultural tours for schoolchildren, raising community fears that youngsters are being exposed to potential abusers.can confirm two sex offenders have recently been visiting government-funded charitable organisations that run children’s programs – Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association on the Mornington Peninsula and a second organisation that cannot be named for legal reasons, also in Victoria.
In one recent case, a convicted child sex offender was visiting Willum Warrain in Hastings for a year before government departments and the police were made aware. The man, Aldenhoven said, was permitted to continue as a member with a “risk mitigation strategy” in place that allowed him to attend the meeting place as long as he was never left alone.Aldenhoven said that during the man’s attendance at Willum Warrain, any potential contact with children was managed using the risk management strategy.
In a press release issued last Friday, Willum Warrain said anyone on the sex offenders register was now barred from joining its organisation.
