Leaked complaint letter about alleged cover-up of sexual abuse shocks Melbourne’s Orthodox Jewish community
SHANNON DEERY NEWS LIMITED APRIL 10, 2014
THE man behind a leaked complaint about an alleged sexual abuse cover-up at one of Melbourne’s most prestigious schools says he has been left shocked by its widespread release.
Police have launched an investigation into how the confidential complaint was leaked after it was photocopied and distributed widely.
The author of the complaint sparked a police investigation after he complained about the handling of allegations of sexual abuse at Yeshivah College in a November 2012 letter.
The college has been rocked by a worsening sexual abuse crisis that has seen numerous former employees jailed for the abuse of dozens of students over several decades.
But critics of the college’s handling of abuse cases say there were active attempts to cover-up the evil acts.
