A key witness at a hearing into Knox Grammar has denied he’s trying to shift the blame for poor record keeping onto the former headmaster Ian Paterson.
Stuart Pearson, the former general duties master at the elite north shore Sydney boys’ school, reiterated his allegation Dr Paterson had lied when he said he had reported to police that an intruder wearing a balaclava had sexually assaulted a boy in 1988.
Solicitor Jim Harrowell, representing Dr Paterson cross-examined Mr Pearson, a former policeman, for more than an hour.
In a terse exchange he asked Mr Pearson if when he was a policeman he had a problem with record keeping and complained about the need to keep a lot of documents.
