THE elite Knox Grammar has been accused of covering up 33 years of sex abuse which included students being plied with alcohol and cigarettes while teachers showed them sickening videos of paedophilia and bestiality.
One boy woke in his dormitory to find a man wearing a Knox track suit and a balaclava hiding under his bed and sexually assaulting him, the child sex abuse royal commission heard yesterday.
The man grabbed the doona, put it over his head and fled with the boys in pursuit.
It is alleged the man was a teacher, who was never disciplined and only resigned months later after being arrested while masturbating in his car outside the Wahroonga school, which bears the motto Virile Agitur — “do the manly thing”.
The “balaclava man” was alleged to be religious education teacher Christopher Fotis, who had told the schoolboy he “had a surprise in store for him that night”, counsel assisting the commission David Lloyd said.
