## Key points

- Wotton’s planned parole release may be delayed over safety fears.
- His leaked address is reportedly near a primary school.
- Families of the three child victims say the parole decision failed them.

## Summary

Authorities in New South Wales are reportedly reconsidering the planned parole release of former police officer Robert Wotton after his intended address was shared online, raising concerns about threats to his safety. The leak has also prompted local residents to object to his proposed move near a primary school, while the families of three children he abused say the parole decision has betrayed them.

Wotton, 58, was convicted in 2022 of repeatedly indecently assaulting two girls and a boy, all under ten at the time, between 2007 and 2017. He was due to leave Kirkconnell Correctional Centre on Sunday, four years and nine months after being jailed, and reportedly planned to live with his wife about three streets from a school. His victims’ families say they submitted psychological reports and other material opposing parole; Wotton denied the crimes and showed no remorse at his trial.
