William Stuart Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Stuart Brown (1952 - May 12, 2004) was an Australian diplomat and convicted paedophile.
Brown initially worked for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as a diplomat in Jakarta, Indonesia until 1984. He was accused of abusing a child in 1984 in Jakarta, and after his return to Canberra, was found to be living with a boy. [1]
He then worked in Indonesia as a schoolteacher, teaching English. He was arrested on January 5, 2004 in Indonesia, on charges of sexually abusing two boys aged 13 and 15. In court Brown admitted attempting to sodomise them, but claims he stopped when they resisted. He also admitted taking about 20 young boys to a beach and kissing and touching them. The prosecutor alleged that he went swimming with the boys, stroked and kissed them, then performed oral sex on them. [2]
Brown admitted knowing convicted child sex offender Robert 'Dolly' Dunn, regarded as the worst paedophile in Australian history, and having organised hikes with him.
On May 12, 2004 the day after he was found guilty and sentenced to 13 years in jail, Brown hanged himself in his cell at police headquarters at Karangasem, Bali. [3]
