Magistrate Cooper
A Melbourne magistrate has admitted to sexually abusing boys in the 1980s after the abuses were reported three decades later.
Simon Mitchell Cooper, 55, of Brighton, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to seven charges relating to the indecent assaults, which took place in 1984 and 1986.
The unidentified victims, who are brothers, and their parents were in court today to hear the former Crown prosecutor plead guilty to seven charges of indecent assault.
Cooper, who is married with two adult children, was expected to contest the charges but instead admitted his crimes, the Age reports.
The allegations include three indecent acts with one of the victims in 1984 and one in relation to the other victim.
Cooper had his bail extended during the hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
He will appear before the Victorian County Court on September 3 and faces up to five years in prison.
Cooper was appointed to the Victorian Magistrates Court in February last year after becoming a barrister in 1980 and serving as a crown prosecutor since 1990.
He has been suspended from his role until the case is resolved.

The above Magistrate and other members of the judiciary have committed all types of abuse on the vulnerable over the years. Many of which people don't know anything about.
Are these the people who you want sitting in judgment on you, your family and children?
We thinketh not!!!
