A Geelong Grammar School chaplain hypnotised boys so he could molest them, boarders were sexually abused as they slept and students were subjected to incessant bullying and even abuse by their peers, an inquiry has heard.
A code of silence discouraged students from reporting five decades of abuse which continued until as recently as 2007 while those who did speak out were met with inaction or even threatened with expulsion, the child abuse royal commission heard.
Victim BKO has told the commission that Rev John Davison abused him during one of two after-school sessions in 1970 in which the school chaplain tried to hypnotise a group of students.
