Actor adds accusation Sydney Morning Herald Email Print Normal font Large font September 26, 2007

Advertisement AdvertisementTHE actor Tom E. Lewis met Bob Collins at Darwin's Kormilda College. Collins was a housemaster and Lewis, who was destined to achieve national fame as the lead in Fred Schepisi's 1978 film The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, met him outside Woolworths after he ceased to be a student at the school. Lewis was 13 or 14.

"He was in this little, like a Datsun," Lewis told The Bulletin . . . "He say, 'Hey, hello Tom ... You want a job? Ten dollars an hour."'

Lewis went with Collins to his home. "He said, 'You want to have a shower and put on a sarong?' . . . This bloke don't want work; he's into something else. And it's dark outside. And thing is, he'll kill you if you run away in the dark. As I'm getting [un]dressed, he got me, I'm down in my underwear. And then he took me to the bedroom. He humbugged me there [had sex] ...

And then I saw the photo albums. Two of them ... all the boys ... Always in sarongs ... All kind - whitefella, blackfella ... All was with a sarong.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.84.147 (talk • contribs)
