THE current headmaster of Knox Grammar, John Weeks, has defended his actions in protecting students from potential harm at the hands of teacher and serial pedophile Craig Treloar.
Speaking yesterday to The Australian outside the inquiry into child sexual abuse at the school, Mr Weeks insisted that, despite contrary evidence from the NSW police inspector involved, he had in 2007 reported Treloar to the police child protection unit.
Mr Weeks arrived at Knox in 2004, and almost immediately launched an investigation into another pedophile teacher, Adrian Nisbett.
He was advised in 2007 by a former Knox general duties master, Stuart Pearson, that Treloar had in the 1980s shown a pornographic video to a student and “attempted to have a sexual encounter with this lad”.
