Original Note:
In 2023, Brian Houston was acquitted. Brian learned of the crime when the victim was already of age. Brian removed Frank from the church, informed national Church leaders, & publicly spoke about the crimes. The Magistrate called it: “the very opposite of a cover up”. https://amp.abc.net.au/article/102740394 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/not-guilty-hillsong-founder-brian-houston-cleared-of-child-sexual-abuse-cover-up/taw3iw4fy https://amp.smh.com.au/national/nsw/brian-houston-found-not-guilty-of-covering-up-father-s-child-sexual-abuse-20230817-p5dx7m.html www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/criminal/legislation/crimes-act/concealing-child-abuse-offence/
