A former nurse from Launceston General Hospital is facing two counts of indecent assault on children, stemming from incidents alleged to have occurred in the 1980s. The court recently heard detailed testimonies from the complainants, who recounted instances of abuse they experienced during their childhood.
The defendant has denied the allegations, asserting that his actions were innocent and without any malicious intent. Despite his defense, the court was presented with supporting evidence, including testimonies from childhood friends of the victims, which aimed to corroborate the complainants’ accounts.
As the case progresses, the next hearing is scheduled for December. The defendant has entered a plea of not guilty to the charges, and the court proceedings are set to continue in the coming months.
