[9 News, Australia] Brian Houston, the founder of
the Hillsong Church, is under investigation by New South Wales police
over his handling of the sex crimes committed by his father Frank
Houston.
Frank Houston was a Pentecostal pioneer, a leading
Assemblies of God pastor who preyed on young boys in Australia and New
Zealand in the 1960s and 1970s.
The first allegations of Frank Houston’s pedophilia
emerged in the late 1990s, when Brian Houston was the Australian
National President of the Assemblies of God, part of the largest
Pentecostal denomination in the world.
In 2014, Brian Houston gave evidence before the
Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse, which
later found he had failed to take the matter to the police and had a
conflict of interest in dealing with the complaints against his father.
It has emerged that in the wake of the Royal
Commission’s findings, NSW Police began looking into his handling of his
father’s crimes, an investigation that was suspended because of lack of
evidence.
A NSW police spokesman said the investigation has been reopened and is now “current and active”.
Tonight on 60 Minutes, one of Frank Houston’s
victims, Brett Sengstock, spoke for the first time of his abuse by Frank
Houston as a seven-year-old boy and his ongoing quest for justice.
A key witness at the Royal Commission, where he was
known only as ‘AHA’, Brett Sengstock gave up his anonymity to tell his
story.

“It’s Your Fault. You Tempted [Him].”

Brian Houston told a child sex abuse victim, “It’s your fault all this happened, you tempted my father.”
The commission received an account of Houston’s words under oath, and reportedly occurred as Houston was talking to his father’s victim, after his father had agreed to pay him 10 thousand dollars.
According to The Australian:
After the allegations became public within the church during 1999, Frank Houston met his victim offering him $10,000 and saying: “I want your forgiveness for this. I don’t want to die and have to face God with this on my head,” the commission heard.Brian Houston has made a statement acknowledging the phone call with his father’s victim, but denies he said those words precisely.
Months later, when the money had not arrived, his victim called Frank Houston’s son Brian, who was then the national president of the Assemblies of God in Australia Pentecostal movement.The victim said Brian told him: “You know, it’s your fault all this happened. You tempted my father.”“Brian got very angry after that. He slammed the phone down after saying words to the effect of ‘You’ll be getting your money’,” the victim told the commission. He received a cheque for $10,000 about two weeks later.

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
IN HIS MAIDEN SPEECH, current Prime Minister Scott Morrison referred to evangelical Christian and Hillsong Church leader, Brian Houston, as his “mentor.”
The Prime Minister thanked Houston for his support and encouragement.
While Morrison no longer attends Hillsong he does attend Horizon, another Pentecostal church that along with Hillsong is affiliated with Australian Christian Churches — the Australian branch of the Assemblies of God.
In 2015, Brian Houston was censured by the Child Abuse Royal Commission for failing to report his father, Frank Houston, to police for the alleged sexual abuse of children in his church.
On Monday, three years after this censure, NSW Police confirmed that Brian Houston is being investigated by them after complaints that he failed to report his father’s crimes, instead, concealing them and urging church officials to refrain from publicly revealing the allegations in the interests of the institution’s reputation.
Hillsong Church is again under the spotlight as former member of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God Church accuses leader of Hillsong Church of covering up his Pastor father's sexual abuse over many years.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/19/sex-abuse-victim-pursues-hillsongs-brian-houston-over-crimes-of-his-father …

Abuse survivor Peter Gogarty said after the verdict:
“I think this will now open the doors for other jurisdictions to start looking at trying to prosecute people who deliberately looked after their institution and, literally, threw children to the wolves.”It appears that Prime Ministerial mentor Brian Houston and the Hillsong Church may have “deliberately looked after their institution” and “thrown children to the wolves”. The current police inquiry will pursue this possibility.
