Summary: Opportunity Taken (Press, 22 December 1975)

George Crothers, a prisoner serving time for theft in Sydney, claimed that he could overcome his prison-acquired homosexual tendencies with just a few hours spent in a motel room with his girlfriend. In response to his request, prison officials consulted a psychiatrist, who agreed that allowing Crothers this time with his girlfriend could potentially aid in his rehabilitation. As a result, the prison arranged for a motel room, scheduled an appointment with the girlfriend, and escorted Crothers to the location, promising to return in two hours. However, after leaving Crothers at the motel, prison officials did not see him again.
