Manny Waks fought back tears as he described how it felt to be an 11-year-old boy taunted in the school yard by students who knew he’d been sexually abused.
He’d been molested by a man (named only AVP for legal reasons) and his fellow Yeshivah College students found this out.
Manny’s life got even worse – when the caretaker at his school also began to prey on him, subjecting him to repeated sexual abuse.
This man, David Cyprys, assaulted Manny and at least eight other boys while he worked at Yeshivah College during the 1980s and 1990s.
‘Most of the time I felt completely deserted and alone,’ said Mr Waks, now 38, describing his school years to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Melbourne.
