SA: New task force to investigate MP, police paedophile claims

A special police task force has been set up to investigate allegations of paedophilia
against a South Australian MP, a former MP and two police officers.

SA Police Commissioner MAL HYDE says the separate allegations are currently under investigation
by different branches of the police force, but will all be brought together into one investigation.

Mr HYDE says in a statement the special task force takes the current, related investigations
out of the Anti-Corruption Branch and the Sexual Crimes Investigation Branch, so they
can all be dealt with in one area.

Assistant Commissioner BRYAN FAHY will lead the task force, with a team of one primary
investigator and five other officers working under him.
