Cape Town – The police have launched a probe into the complaints of sexual abuse at Bishops Diocesan College in Cape Town.
According to the Sunday Times, police confirmed that the matter would be investigated by a unit that deals with child protection and sexual offences.
The newspaper reported that a senior investigator had met the school’s principal Guy Pearson and with the father of a boy who reported a teacher for inappropriate behaviour in 2009.
However, it is believed that prosecution will happen only if further complaints are lodged.
It emerged late last month that the school has been embroiled in a sex-abuse cover up scandal – involving two separate incidents – that goes back two decades.
