Robert "Dolly" Dunn is an Australian child molester
He began his career as a school teacher, working for Marist Brothers.
He is currently serving a 20-year jail sentence that began in 2001 for 24 sexual offences that occurred between 1985 and 1995. He is believed to be at high risk of retaliation from other prisoners, and so he is isolated from the main prison population.
In 1996, a Royal Commission chaired by Justice James Woods was shown home videos and photographs from Dunn's collection, which included many images of child sex abuse, usually featuring Dunn himself as the perpetrator. Dunn fled the country, but was later found in Honduras. Then-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright authorised his extradition back to Australia.
He has a long history of abusing boys between the ages of seven and 15, often videotaping them. Usually, he would offer them money and marijuana in exchange for anal sex.
From jail, he has repeatedly made written and verbal statements to the effect that he sees nothing wrong with sex between a man and a boy.
He has previously spent time in Indonesia and the Netherlands. He was a friend and accomplice of Australian diplomat William Stuart Brown, another notorious paedophile.
In 2004, Dunn underwent coronary bypass surgery after suffering from angina. He will be eligible for parole on November 9, 2015.
