Dilworth redress scheme excludes victim of drug-peddling paedophile ring

The Dilworth School redress scheme has excluded the victim of a drug-peddling paedophile ring, and some survivor advocates say the process seriously lacks transparency. But Dilworth said it sought extensive feedback before establishing the scheme, and had worked to ensure survivors and their families were protected. A child abuse ring involved the now-imprisoned Wayne Gillman Moonie and also allegedly involved the late Dilworth scout volunteer Richard Galloway .

Roger Allison was among the boys targeted. But because he was never a Dilworth student, Allison was excluded from the redress scheme. Moonie was jailed at Auckland District Court in 2021 for involvement in early 1980s offences linked to a conspiracy in which boys were groomed, trafficked for sex, plied with drugs or alcohol, and abused.
