Sex offender attends school ball -
A Geelong private school has defended the attendance of a convicted child sex offender at a debutante ball.
Gary John Riddle attended Christian College's annual ball, along with his wife, who is a teacher at the school.
He is also the brother of the college's principal.
Riddle was sentenced to five years' jail in 2002 for indecently assaulting a number of girls, aged between 10 and 15.
The college says it has not received any formal complaints about Riddle's attendance.
It says Riddle was entitled to attend the ball and cannot be excluded because of his criminal record.
abhorrent as his past is, he has done his time,
I agree, it's not your regular crime and my gut tells me that they will always have an urge to desire young things. Just my gut feeling though. Has there been a study done on this?Pedophiles have never "done their time" they aren't criminals they are sexual deviates and should be isolated from society until they have been cured, if thats possible.

How do you know he's not cured? Yes I think the crime is disgusting, but I think it's hard to make a call just from a news article.
I agree, and I would.You cant cure someone of a sexual preference, it's just the way they are.
I'd have my kids out of that school in seconds flat if the principal supports a pedophile and brings him in contact with children.
What a ********......really.
I agree, and I would.
Not too many Brothers schools would be left open perhaps.
The Principle of this school only has moments left really. What an incredibly poor decision. Impossibly dumbfounding actually.
Yes, I will be waiting.I'd like to see a follow up to this story if there is one around, if any one sees it let us know.
Yes, I will be waiting.
In fact, I might be more than proactive in raising this issue.
Quite unbelievable.
I know that in VIC it means they are sent to sexual offence prisons for their own personal safety. Sexual offenders are literally isolated away from other prison populations. Noboby likes "dogs" in the VIC Penal System.
