SYDNEY: A former High Court of Australia judge was found to have sexually harassed six female staff members, the court said yesterday, one of the country's most powerful figures to face such recriminations.
Former judge Dyson Heydon, who served on the country's most powerful court from 2003 to 2013, was found to have harassed six former staff members, known as judges' associates, the court said. The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper quoted the law firm acting for Mr Heydon denying the allegations on his behalf.
The court's statement did not give details or the time of the incidents under scrutiny, but said it was told of"allegations of sexual harassment against a former justice" last year and immediately ordered an independent investigation. "The findings are of extreme concern to me, my fellow justices, our chief executive and the staff of the court," Chief Judge Susan Kiefel said in the statement.
