"He's got a lot to answer for": Calls for Coster to front up over McSkimming situation

Former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster is "on leave" from the Social Investment Agency following a damning report into the handling of the Jevon McSkimming case. 

The former Deputy Police Commissioner is awaiting sentence after last week pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices. 

The IPCA's report reveals senior leadership ignored anonymous allegations McSkimming was a sexual predator, and instead the woman was prosecuted for digital harassment. 

Survivors' advocate Louise Nicholas told Ryan Bridge Coster's role in this really makes her angry. 

She says he has a lot to answer for around this and he needs to front up.
