Paul Wilson was once one of Australia's most respected criminologists; a professor, author of 50 books, and even a recipient of the Order of Australia.
Behind the accolades was a disturbing truth.
In the 1970's Paul committed brazen sexual abuse against a minor, crimes that only came to light decades later.
In this episode of Exhuming the Truth, we uncover how a man who studied crime became a criminal himself, and we ask what his downfall reveals about power, trust and accountability.

Welcome to Exhuming the Truth, the podcast where we delve into
the mysterious worlds of cold cases, missing persons, true
crime, and the fascinating science that is forensics.
I'm forensic scientist and criminologist Asha Walther, and
I am so thrilled to have you with me on this journey as we
dance in the shadows of the world of crime, shining a light
on scientific discovery while becoming another voice for those
(00:41):
who need it most. So grab a drink and get
comfortable while we jump into this episode together.
As always, this podcast is recommended for persons over the
age of 18 and contains explicit content not suitable for minors.
We will be covering sensitive content that ranges from sexual
assault, physical, mental, social and emotional abuse,
(01:02):
suicide, homicide, murder, attempted murder, and other
violent crimes including crimes involving weapons and drugs.
This often extends to drug misuse and other harmful and
illegal activity. If you find any content to be
distressing, I have listed a number of resources that may be
able to help you in the podcast notes.
I'd also like to remind our listeners that all victims and
(01:24):
all perpetrators are someone's loved 1.
So I ask that in any discussionsin our group or on our social
accounts that you remain respectful of that at all times.
And by listening today, you alsoacknowledge that all persons of
interest remain innocent until proven otherwise.
Hi guys, I don't have anything exciting for housekeeping.
Actually, yes I do I lie. I received sorry that was I had
(01:49):
in mind blank. I received all of our
merchandise samples today, whichis so exciting.
We got AT shirt a cap, some whatare they called?
My God, stubby holders, some bottle openers and a drink
bottle. So in the back.
So I kind of just like got one of everything in the samples
(02:10):
just to see what it would look like.
And I'm actually pretty happy with everything.
So shortly you should be able toplace a pre-order.
I'm going to do it that way. Rather than ordering a bunch and
trying to sell them. I'm just going to order them as
you put in an order. So that will be available on the
website hopefully shortly. But you can have a look.
I've popped up a photo on our Facebook account and I may have
(02:34):
done it on the Instagram account.
I'm not too sure. The other exciting news, we have
two interns that are starting shortly, which is really, really
exciting. I can't wait to introduce you to
them. I might actually bring them on
for an episode each so that you can get to know them and that'll
be really good experience for them as well.
(02:54):
So that's all my exciting news. I have my little puppy shadow
sleeping here next to me. So if you hear some like very
odd deep breathing slash snoring, that is her.
And I'm too much of A doormat tomove her.
So I apologize in advance. So welcome back.
And tonight, we're looking at a case that strikes at the very
(03:17):
heart of trust, not only betweenpeople, but within the
institutions that we rely on forknowledge and we rely on for
protection. This is the story of Paul
Wilson, a celebrated Australian criminologist, a university
professor, a man who held one ofAustralia's most prestigious
(03:40):
honors, and yet behind closed doors, he was hiding a secret
life of abuse. I just want to touch on how I
came to know the story of Paul Wilson and how his name became
familiar to me. I often get a lot of inboxes on
across all of our social accounts, emails, texts, phone
(04:01):
calls, you name it, with a lot of case requests and a lot of
people saying, can you look at this?
Can you look at that? And you know, I do have to be
careful and I do have to Fact Check things.
And it's not because of a lack of trust.
It's just because I am presenting information to the
community and I want it to be correct.
(04:23):
And sometimes I get the occasional person, you know,
saying, can you look at my sister's aunties, cats,
chickens, dog, you know, And it's just like this wild goose
chase. But I first heard the name Paul
Wilson maybe a couple of months ago, I want to say two to three
months ago, I did have a girl message me and say, hey, can you
(04:43):
look into him? I want to know more about it.
And I did. I do write every request down
and sort of either touch on it really quick and prioritize
obviously our missing persons orour really desperate families
who really need help. They always come first.
And then it just so happened that this name fell to the
bottom because I, I didn't even really get to look at it.
(05:06):
I kind of touched on it and was like, OK, this isn't a personal
request, so I'm going to put this in the lighter basket.
Now. I came to my attention again
just last week. I had a lovely lady message me
and while I love chatting with everybody, I really do, and
getting people's stories and your insight and things like
(05:26):
that. I loved having a chat with this
lady because she not only was giving me, you know, things to
look for and to look at, but shewas sending me all of the
references of where she was getting this information, which
is so helpful. Like even one article is really,
really helpful for me because I spend so much time doing
(05:46):
research to produce these episodes.
So this wonderful woman was sending me, you know, all of
this backup information and articles and books and all of
this. And I'm sitting there going
this, surely this is fake news. Like, this cannot be real.
Like, how have I not heard of this?
So I thought, why not put it together as best as I can, make
(06:09):
an episode out of it and share this with you guys because you
deserve to know. And a lot of the people who
listen and follow along with exhuming the truth are students
with similar interests or peoplewho aspire to study in
criminology and things like that.
So it's very relevant to you guys as well.
(06:30):
And of course it's relevant to everybody in the country because
this is a person from our country and we should be kept up
to date with this sort of thing.So let's get into the background
of this story. Paul Richard Wilson was born in
1941. He went on to become one of
Australia's most well known criminologist.
(06:51):
For almost 2 decades he held thechair of Criminology at Bond
University. Now that is in Queensland.
He published around 50 books, hundreds of journal articles and
even received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2003.
My own personal connection with Paul is not one you know of face
(07:15):
to face value, but I have used many of his journal articles and
a couple of his books actually in reference to a couple of
papers that I have written. So this name was not unfamiliar.
Is that a word to me? From the outside, though, Wilson
appeared to be a man of integrity.
(07:35):
Like, why would he not be a leader in understanding crime,
understanding justice and the social systems that shaped them?
But in reality, he was committing crimes of his own.
And before I jump into those crimes, I want to talk about the
positions that Paul held throughout his career because
this is pretty impressive. He had a prominent and
(07:55):
multifaceted academic career. He held roles across
institutions, including the University of Canterbury,
Australian National University, the University of Queensland,
the Australian Institute of Criminology, QLD University of
Technology and Bond University. At Bond University, he served as
the chair in criminology. Like we just said before, that
(08:17):
was for nearly two decades, he was the research director of the
Center for Applied Psychology and Criminology and also served
as the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
So he went across the spectrum here in humanities.
He also held visiting fellowships at Murdoch
University, the University of WA.
(08:41):
Is it Rutgers? Rutgers University, which is in
America? I don't know.
RUTGERSI need like someone behind me with the dictionary.
Simon Fraser University in Canada and he was a Fulbright
scholar. In terms of writing in the
media, he authored approximately50 books, numerous book chapters
(09:02):
and hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles.
The topics included the criminaljustice system, policing
miscarriages of just miscarriages of justice, sorry,
youth, mental health and social ethics.
And he's only a couple of the titles, right?
This is obviously not what he's limited to.
This is just a handful, but these are the ones I want you to
(09:23):
pay attention to. The police and the public in
Australia and New Zealand. The Australian criminal justice
system. Deviance in Australia.
The man they called a monster. Sexual experiences between men
and boys. Black Death, white hands, Murder
of the innocents, child killers and their victims.
(09:48):
Yeah, there's a few of those nowlooking back, Traumatizing.
He edited and co-authored more complex volumes like Issues in
Australian Crime and Criminal Justice, which was in 2005,
which basically just demonstrates A broader editorial
and research contribution. Over his lengthy and impressive
career. He was also a media commentator
(10:11):
and was occasionally writing columns for Aussie newspapers.
He engaged in public dialogue through radio and TV.
In 2009 he co-authored Predators, Killers without a
Conscience with Amanda Howard, atrue crime network exploring the
psychology behind sexually motivated murder.
He also contributed to miscarriage of justice
(10:32):
discourse, for example discussing the impact of
wrongful convictions and the need for systemic reforms, which
is another one to keep in mind. So let's talk about his crimes.
So the offences took place in the mid 1970s in Brisbane.
The victim was a girl under the age of 12.
(10:55):
Paul Wilson groomed and manipulated her through what he
disguised as games. He blindfolded her for, and I
quote, hide and seek. He touched her inappropriately.
He touched her inappropriately in the swimming pool.
He even went as far to show her a full length nude poster of
(11:17):
himself. He exposed himself.
He asked her to touch him, and all while making it seem like a
twisted form of play. These weren't isolated
incidents. This abuse was persistent, it
was brazen, and it was corrupting to a child who should
(11:40):
have been safe. It wasn't until decades later
that Wilson was finally brought to justice.
And this is one of the most disturbing parts about all of
this. He continued to work in the
social justice field, in the humanities field, in
criminology, in even writing books about child sex offenses
(12:02):
and things like that. And, you know, mentor people and
work with children, work with students, influence people.
But he wasn't brought to justicefor decades, decades.
In 2016, his case finally went before a jury.
So he's done these crimes. Who knows what he's done after
(12:24):
that and between, you know, thenand 2016.
But he's continued his career. So he's been seen before a jury.
In 2016, the first trial ended without a verdict, but in
November that same year, 2016, after a retrial, the jury found
him guilty of four counts of indecent treatment of a child
(12:46):
under the age of 12. The judge on this case described
Wilson's actions as praising andhe condemned the way that he had
abused the trust of a young girlin his care.
He was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment with a non parole
period of six months. However, I believe he only
served four months in the end. For the victim, the trial itself
(13:09):
was another ordeal, a re traumatizing process of course,
in which she was forced to relive her childhood abuse and I
have no doubt in my mind that this continues to re traumatize
her as she moves through adulthood.
So following his conviction, there were a lot of calls for
him to be stripped of his Medal of the Order of Australia.
(13:33):
And as a child protection advocate Hedy Johnson put it in
these words. Anybody who would harm a child
does not deserve any kind of award, let alone the Order of
Australia. So by 2017, his medal was
officially taken back. And this was symbolic but
important, of course. It just recognizes that the
(13:57):
honours of society can't stand beside the reality of child
abuse, even though society kind of did stand by that because for
decades, you know, he wasn't held accountable.
So he essentially got away with it in his, you know, prime
years, like 20 years or something like that.
(14:17):
And, you know, in that time had received that medal.
So just the whole thing just makes me sick.
But his story, it goes on. And it it only takes very, very
basic research skills to have a look into it.
His story is chilling and it's areally stark reminder of the
dangers of authority and public reputation.
And while we're on that and listening to Luke Gilbert's
(14:40):
story last week, this is another, you know, public
reputation situation. He was a man trusted to teach
students about justice, about crime prevention and about the
protection of society's most vulnerable, like our children.
Yet he used that same authority to mask his own crimes.
(15:01):
And that makes me absolutely sick.
It makes me sick that I've read this man's work and used his
work in my own learnings. And it also makes me sick that I
didn't know about this until I have people making me aware of
this and I'm in the same areas as him.
(15:21):
But fundamentally the reason whyI wanted to do this aside from
inform you of what kind of people we have in high
positions. But I also just wanted to raise
the uncomfortable but necessary question, how often do we
mistake prestige and credentialsfor integrity here?
And what responsibility do institutions have to act when
(15:44):
the truth finally comes to light?
Like, what is being done about this now?
Are we retracting any of those books?
Are we looking further into the books you know that he's written
that are now highly inappropriate?
How are these people being held accountable?
Are we doing enough to screen these people before allowing
(16:05):
them not just to teach in these areas, but to study in these
areas? You know, we have a look, we've
got Paul Wilson here who's studied in the criminology area
and he's now teaching in that area.
We have Brian Koeberger who murdered 4 innocent people who
was studying in the criminology area.
Do we have a strict enough filtration system to weed out
(16:27):
the bad people and not allow them this education and
information? Paul Wilson built his career
studying crime, but ultimately he became the criminal and the
very system he studied became the one that judged him.
And this case is a reminder thatbehind closed doors even the
most trusted figures can betray us, and that just as though
(16:50):
sometimes delayed, it must always be pursued.
In one of his books, he even does a study where he examines
the case of an older man who hadinappropriate relations with
adolescent children over a 20 year period.
(17:11):
This is incredibly just inappropriate.
And I'm really disappointed that, you know, this man
continued on for decades to makea name for himself to influence
others and and nothing was done in time like 20 years.
What the hell, what is going on Australia?
(17:31):

students about justice, about crime prevention and about the
protection of society's most vulnerable, like our children.
Yet he used that same authority to mask his own crimes.
(15:01):
And that makes me absolutely sick.
It makes me sick that I've read this man's work and used his
work in my own learnings. And it also makes me sick that I
didn't know about this until I have people making me aware of
this and I'm in the same areas as him.
(15:21):
But fundamentally the reason whyI wanted to do this aside from
inform you of what kind of people we have in high
positions. But I also just wanted to raise
the uncomfortable but necessary question, how often do we
mistake prestige and credentialsfor integrity here?
And what responsibility do institutions have to act when
(15:44):
the truth finally comes to light?
Like, what is being done about this now?
Are we retracting any of those books?
Are we looking further into the books you know that he's written
that are now highly inappropriate?
How are these people being held accountable?
Are we doing enough to screen these people before allowing
(16:05):
them not just to teach in these areas, but to study in these
areas? You know, we have a look, we've
got Paul Wilson here who's studied in the criminology area
and he's now teaching in that area.
We have Brian Koeberger who murdered 4 innocent people who
was studying in the criminology area.
Do we have a strict enough filtration system to weed out
(16:27):
the bad people and not allow them this education and
information? Paul Wilson built his career
studying crime, but ultimately he became the criminal and the
very system he studied became the one that judged him.
And this case is a reminder thatbehind closed doors even the
most trusted figures can betray us, and that just as though
(16:50):
sometimes delayed, it must always be pursued.
In one of his books, he even does a study where he examines
the case of an older man who hadinappropriate relations with
adolescent children over a 20 year period.
(17:11):
This is incredibly just inappropriate.
And I'm really disappointed that, you know, this man
continued on for decades to makea name for himself to influence
others and and nothing was done in time like 20 years.
What the hell, what is going on Australia?
(17:31):
