Cowan's Criminal History

Cowan was only required to serve three and a half years of his sentence after acknowledging his sexual deviance. He moved to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with his pastor, Aunt and Uncle Keith and Jenny Philbrook. During his time worshipping at Suncoast Church, Cowan allegedly tried to rape a fellow parish member, a 15 year old girl. Police were not contacted about this attack. It was believed he'll be covered up by the church at the time,. A claim denied by the church leader who was adamant if such an allegation was confided to him, he would have remembered it and taken swift action.
