A FORMER Christ Church Grammar School teacher who sexually abused a student nearly three decades ago was today jailed for 12 years.
Lindsay William Hutchinson, 63, who was the director of music at the exclusive Claremont boys’ school from 1981 to 1985, was charged with a range of sexual offences, including the rape of his young victim, who was just 13 when the abuse began.
He was jailed for 12 years for the sexual assault and rape of the boy. Hutchinson will be eligible for parole after 10 years.
In handing down his sentence, District Court Judge Patrick O’Neal described Hutchinson as a “narcissistic” man who not only brutalised his victim over an 18-month to two year period but went to extraordinary lengths to create opportunities to satisfy his sexual desires, even admitting on the stand to choosing boys schools for that very reason.
