Subscriber only A sexual attack on an autistic teenage boy by his stepfather has been called disgusting and deplorable by a judge in Hervey Bay. The 50-year-old man who sexually assaulted the teen pleaded guilty to a series of offences in Hervey Bay District Court, including three counts of indecent dealing with an impaired person and one count of rape. The court heard the offences all happened on the same day. The man had manipulated circumstances so he was alone with his 16-year-old stepson, the court heard. The victim had autism, ADHD and learning disabilities. First the stepfather exposed himself to the victim in the bathroom, then he masturbated in front of the teenage boy.
