Former Marist Brother, Malcolm John Dickson, pleads guilty to indecently assaulting a sixteen-year-old homeless boy in 1980, forty-five years after the abuse occurred. Dickson, now eighty-five, committed the crimes while working as a lay teacher at Marist Brothers College in Pearce between 1980 and 1981. He pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault, encompassing four separate acts, after initially denying the charges.
