## Resource

A former judge and university lecturer, Alan Boulton, 76, has pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing child abuse material after inappropriate images were accidentally shown during a lecture at Monash University last year. Facing a third charge that was dropped, Boulton — once a senior deputy director at the Fair Work Commission and no longer affiliated with Monash — is now on extended bail, even traveling to Europe while under supervision. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 5th next year, as the legal process continues in the County Court.
