The chaplain of an elite Claremont boys’ school has denied claims he advised a former student and victim of sexual abuse at his school to “forget about it”.
Canon Frank Sheehan has spoken out after allegations of a cover-up emerged during the child sex trial of Christ Church Grammar’s former music teacher Lindsay Hutchinson, 63.
Hutchinson was yesterday found guilty of 12 sexual abuse offences concerning students at the school, after a two-week Perth District Court trial.
The offences took place in the mid-1980s and largely concerned one student, then aged 13, who went on to testify against Hutchinson at trial.
