John Youard was a 14 year old page at an anatomical museum in London and he was sodomised by Dr Kahn who owned the museum. He was going to go to the police but made the mistake of saying if you pay me so money I won't go to them. The doctor asked him to come back to get the money but had the police waiting for him. John Youard spent time in Millbank Prison and Parkhurst Prison before being sent to Australia.

John Youard, a lad of fourteen, formerly a page to Dr Kahn, the proprietor of the Anatomical Museum, was convicted last week of feloniously accusing his master of a hideous crime, with intent to extort £100. The case was very clearly made out. Mr Baron Martin sentenced the young reprobate to transportation for life.
In Geraldton WA, John Youard became a Methodist Lay Preacher, a member of the Geraldton Roads Board, a member of the Knights Templar and a well respected member of the Geraldton community. He owned a great deal of land, predominantly in Sandford/Eleanor Street. He is buried in the Eastern Road Cemetery that has since had a housing estate built over the top of it.
