He was stripped of his knighthood and two other awards in consequence.[1] Lewis has continued to protest his innocence, and sued his former lawyers and pursued appeals.[2] The last of his appeals failed in August 2005.[3] HistoryLewis was inducted as a police officer in 1949.[4] As a senior constable, Lewis was in charge of the Juvenile Aid Bureau.[5] He was implicated in the National Hotel scandal. Lewis was also a close associate[6] of the corrupt former Police Commissioner Francis Bischof and was allegedly one of his bagmen. Informant, Shirley Brifman, said: "the collect boys were Lewis, Murphy and Hallahan. That went to Bischof ".[7] Former Royal Commissioner, Donald Stewart, observed that in 1976, Lewis "was plucked from well-deserved obscurity by [Premier] Bjelke-Petersen to be his vassal, to do his bidding, lawful or otherwise".[8] Initially, Lewis was promoted to the rank of Assistant Police Commissioner to Ray Whitrod, however, Whitrod refused to work with him and resigned in protest when Bjelke-Petersen insisted on Lewis's appointment. Lewis served as Police Commissioner from 1976 to 1987, receiving a knighthood, but was dismissed by police minister Bill Gunn in September 1987. By 1980, Detective Jack Herbert had become Lewis' bagman, but he later became a major informant against Lewis and others at the Fitzgerald Inquiry.[9] Assistant Commissioner Graeme Parker also confessed to corruption and implicated Lewis on 16 September 1987.[10] Following the end of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, Lewis was charged in 1989 with 23 counts of perjury, corruption, and forgery.[11] After hearing evidence over five months, and having deliberated for five days, a District Court jury found that although Lewis had not lied to the inquiry, he had accepted bribes totalling $700,000 to protect brothels, SP (starting price) bookmakers, illegal casinos and in-line machine operators, and to prevent poker machines being legally introduced in Queensland.[12] He was also found to have forged Bjelke-Petersen's signature on an official police document in 1981.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} PrisonJudge Healy sentenced Lewis to the maximum prison term possible – 14 years on the 15 corruption charges and 10 years on the forgery charge – to be served concurrently, fixed a non-parole period of 9½ years, and fined Lewis $50,000 on each of the corruption charges. Lewis was paroled in 2002 after serving 10½ years. He has continued to protest his innocence, suing his former lawyers and pursuing further appeals.[2][13][14] The last of his appeals failed in August 2005.[3] Awards and honoursLewis received the following honours:
In March 1993 the Queen stripped Lewis of the awards of Knight Bachelor, Officer of the Order of the British Empire and Queen's Police Medal for Merit.[25] Lewis became only the 14th person since the 14th century to be stripped of his knighthood.[1] He retained the George Medal, which was awarded for gallantry; and the National Medal awarded for service.
