Former chief magistrate ‘uncomfortable’ with controversial petition

A former chief magistrate has expressed concern over a petition that has named and shamed an alleged sex predator.

Thousands of people have signed it.

Dee Dee Dunleavy said she was uncomfortable with it.

Nick Papas QC agreed.

“What if, in fact, this person did not do what is said they have done,” he explained.

He said police and the justice system should be allowed do their respective jobs.

“I’m not comfortable with it, at all,” he said.
