Derryn Hinch admitted to having sex with a 15-year-old female when he was in his early thirties

In his 2004 book, The Fall and Rise of Derryn Hinch, and in a radio editorial in March 2005, Hinch admitted to having sex with a 15-year-old female when he was in his early thirties, although he stated he "thought she was about 25". Following his on-air admission, Herald Sun journalist Andrew Bolt called for his prosecution. In 2013 Hinch wrote that after 30 years the woman had contacted him and said he was wrong about her age. She said she was born in 1961 and they met shortly after he joined 3AW in 1979. That made her 17 at the time of the liaison. The ABC have revisited the self admission by Derryn Hinch in two books, the ABC journalist James Purtill article 6 July 2016 mentions only one (of the two) published self-admissions.
