Child abuse trial of Clayton Busto starts at Supreme Court

The jury in the child abuse trial of Clayton Busto has heard part of the police interview of one of the the complainants, who said he felt he was groomed.

Mr Busto, a former teacher and scout leader, is charged with 19 counts of sexual offences against children.

The alleged victim, referred to as Mr A, was 14 when the abuse was said to have started, and has made ten of the 19 complaints.

He told police that at the time he did not feel forced, but said that as an adult he has struggled to come to terms with what happened.

Mr Busto, who was in his 30s at the time of the allegations made by Mr A, denies all charges.

The child abuse trial of former teacher and scout leader Clayton Busto has begun at the Supreme Court.

He is charged with 19 counts of sexual offences against children, all of which he denies.
