A FORMER Supreme Court judge says he told the headmaster of Knox Grammar to report an allegation to police that a teacher had been sleeping with a boy at the elite Sydney school for two years.
MORRIS “Dusty” Ireland, who was chairman of the Knox school council in the 1990s, has told the child abuse royal commission headmaster Ian Paterson told him in 1992 a student was threatening to sue the school and expose it “as a hotbed of homosexuality”.
The student, known as ATJ, also alleged another teacher – known as ARZ – had been having sex with a senior student, known as ATP, for two years.
Justice Ireland said he could not now remember full details, but recalled advising Dr Paterson not to approach the student and telling him the ARZ affair should be reported to police because it “might involve criminal conduct” depending on the student’s age.
