IT was the biggest historical sexual abuse investigation the state has ever seen, and according to a retired journalist, Terry Jones, a story which still needs to be told.

There were hundreds of charges, 15 men arrested and eight jailed yet there is no comprehensive record of exactly what happened at St Stanislaus' College between the 1970s and 1990s.
Mr Jones, who covered the trials, is working with Carole Clarke, whose son Tor Nielsen blew the whistle on the abuse, in producing a manuscript which they hope will be part of a real crime podcast.
Mrs Clarke and her husband Wayne were in Bathurst over the weekend working on the project.
Mr Jones said this is "a massive story that needs to be told".

The trio said the aim is to have students at CSU pick up the manuscript and assist with the production, with Mr Jones planning on making contact with the uni in the near future.
"CSU is a massive leader in the school of journalism and they could blow it out of the water with this," he said.
Mrs Clarke said so far it's been her experience that no-one wants to talk about the situation and what happened at Stannies.
"There was something like 600 charges, 160 victims, 15 people charged and eight were jailed," she said.
"I'd like to see a podcast based solely on the court documents; a list of all the convictions, the people involved, all the charges, so in the future people can look it up.
"As a matter of public record, it's information that should be available to anyone.
"We want a factual account, with no embellishment. It needs to be verifiable, on the public record, and all the information needs to be in one place, where people can find it."
Mrs Clarke's husband Wayne said the podcast would, ideally, look at the case in its entirety "almost like a Royal Commission".
Mr Jones said part of the problem is the "whole story has never been out there".
It needs to be verifiable, on the public record, and all the information needs to be in one place.
"Now is the time," he said.
He said it was what encouraged him to start writing his manuscript, which will form part of the podcast.
Mrs Clarke said years after the offenders have been jailed, there's still people in town saying the abuse never happened.
"The record needs to be set straight," she said.
Mr Jones said he hopes to be able to work with the uni in the future in making the podcast a reality.
"This is possibly the biggest story to come out of the region, but it's something no-one wants to talk about."
He said it was almost as if the story was "too big" or something people didn't want to face.
Mrs Clarke said a driving force behind the idea was justice for the victims.
Both Mr Jones and Mrs Clarke said the podcast would also acknowledge the tremendous work done by the officer in charge of the investigation, Justin Hadley, which they said should be recognised at an official level.
At the outcome of the last trial (Glenn Michael Humphreys, who was jailed for three-and-a-half years back in June 2018), Mrs Clarke said "it wasn't over" and there was still more to be done.
"It's the end of 10 years of trials, now we just need to get the school investigated," she said at the time.
