A Perth jury has found a former music teacher at an exclusive boys’ school guilty of repeatedly sexually abusing a teenage student in the 1980s.

The District Court jury took less than four hours today to convict Lindsay Hutchinson, 63, of 12 charges, including carnal knowledge against nature, unlawful and indecent assault and indecent dealing with a child.

Hutchinson pleaded guilty to three indecent dealing charges, involving touching the victim between 1984 and 1985, but denied the more serious charges, including rape.
