Former umpire faces child sex charges- International Cricket-News-Sections-Indiatimes - Cricket

A former international cricket umpire faced charges of sexually abusing deaf teenage children in his care in an Australian court on Friday.

Anthony McQuillan appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 12 child sex charges, including five counts of sodomy, five of indecent assault against boys and two of indecent assault against girls.

The offences allegedly occurred between 1974 and 1998, when McQuillan taught deaf children in the Queensland state education system. Prosecutors said his victims were aged 14 to 16.

Lawyers for McQuillan said he denied the charges and successfully applied for bail.

The 55-year-old officiated in 14 One-Day Internationals between 1993 and 1999, as well as umpiring in a single Test in 1999 between Australia and New Zealand.

Another former Australian Test umpire, Steve Randell, was found guilty in 1999 of indecently assaulting nine schoolgirls in the early 1980s.

He was sentenced to four years jail, serving two-and-a-half before being granted parole in April 2002.
 
Do you know if Tony McQuillan was found guilty of the said charges?
