Peterson was gravely injured when he was [[circumcised ]] as a child. He had surgery to repair the damage when he was 18, which required several [[skin]] grafts. His attempted surgical restoration had serious complications. He later successfully sued and was awarded damages of AU$360,000 in 1999.<ref>
