A childless Sydney magistrate accused of abusing a boy in the 1980s has told a jury he was “like a son” to him and denied he ever locked the teenager in a room or slept naked when they shared a bed.

Graeme Bryan Curran has pleaded not guilty in the New South Wales District Court to indecently assaulting the boy nine times when he was aged between 13 and 15.
