Gary John Dreyer: Convicted pervert back in court over breach

Serial child sex pest Gary Dreyer remains in the community despite breaching his latest court-ordered punishment for watching a boy wee in an Erina Fair toilet.

Gary John Dreyer faced Gosford Local Court on Thursday after being charged with two counts of failing to comply with his reporting conditions.

The 63-year-old, of Woy Woy, was sentenced to a 12-month intensive corrections order (ICO) in July last year for indecently assaulting one boy and peering at another over the cubicle wall of a toilet at Erina Fair.

He was on a suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a third teenager at the time he committed those offences.

As part of his ICO Dreyer had to abstain from alcohol and perform 100 hours of community service work.

However the former catering business owner was charged on February 4 with two breaches of his reporting conditions.

Dreyer’s bail was continued and he will be excused if represented when his matter returns to court on April 8.

At his sentencing the court heard Dreyer was given a suspended sentence of one year and eight months at Parramatta District Court after pleading guilty to remaining in a building with intent to commit an indictable offence and indecently assaulting a young teenager in 2016.

Magistrate Peter Barnett said Dreyer, who ran a catering business, then became friends with a 15-year-old through his work at Woy Woy.

He said Dreyer would text the victim using “sexual overtones” that was “clearly indicative of his desire for a non-platonic relationship” with the boy.

Mr Barnett said he began to kiss the boy on the cheek and then the lips, offering him free food and drink from his business.

He said on one occasion between August and October, 2017, as the victim was going to the fridge for a drink Dreyer said “give me a feel” and reached through the boy’s clothes and grabbed the boy’s penis.

It was referred to police and Dreyer was later charged with indecent assault in May 2018.

The court heard Dreyer was on bail pending the outcome of that offence when he passed a boy, then 14, as he was leaving a public toilet at Erina Fair on the morning of April 2, 2019.

Dreyer turned around and climbed up on the toilet of the adjoining cubicle to peer over at the boy urinating until the child “looked up”.

The boy waited until he felt Dreyer had left before going outside where he used his mobile phone to take a photograph of him and told his teachers.
