Now they plead 'insane' : Dementia raised in child rape case

Dementia raised in child rape case

 PEDOPHILE school teacher Gerard Vincent Byrnes yesterday confessed to raping and indecently dealing with young girls, but his victims' families will have to wait longer to hear his punishment.

Audible sighs of frustration filled the Toowoomba District Court yesterday when Byrnes' sentence was adjourned.

The court's public gallery was filled with the families of Byrnes' child victims eager for their nightmare to end with the sentencing of the former Catholic primary school teacher.

However, even before the 61-year-old was arraigned on 44 separate charges, Crown prosecutor Sarah Farnden told Judge Deborah Richards she would seek an adjournment of the sentence because of a psychologist' s report submitted just the night before which claimed Byrnes had the onset of dementia.

That report could have a significant effect on sentence, she submitted.

Two conflicting psychologist reports on Byrnes were now before the court, one that claimed he had dementia and one that said he didn't.
