The Australian Lawyers Alliance has sent details to police of a claim that a former teacher at a Sydney Catholic school sexually abused a student.
Allegations of sexual abuse at a Catholic school in Sydney’s south have been passed to police by a lawyers’ group calling for a royal commission into the scandal-plagued church.
The Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) on Wednesday forwarded NSW police a complaint against a teacher at St Patrick’s College, Sutherland, who allegedly “sexually and indecently” assaulted a pupil between 1976 and 1977.
ALA NSW spokesman Andrew Morrison says an internal investigation into the incident by the church was aborted in 2011.
