	Former Teacher Cleared of Assaulting Students ABC News August 5, 2010 http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/05/2974796.htm?site=centralwest§ion=news A jury has found a former teacher at a school in Bathurst not guilty of assaulting students. James Patrick Jennings, 77, was accused of indecently assaulting four boys, who were aged about 12 in the early 1960s, at St Stanislaus Catholic College. Jennings, then aged in his late 20s, was the dean at the school in central western New South Wales. Allegations included that at night he would walk through a dormitory where the boys slept and sometimes sit on beds and fondle their genitals. But during his trial he told the court he did not "touch" any students. The jury deliberated for a few hours before returning a not guilty verdict on all six counts of indecent assault.
