A convicted sex offender and former teacher at Knox Grammar says he was expecting to be sacked when he was first caught, but the school instead showed him leniency.
This week, the royal commission into child sexual abuse has been hearing evidence of abuse at the exclusive boys’ school on Sydney’s north shore between 1970 and 2003.
Craig Treloar, a former teacher at the school, was sentenced to two years jail in 2009 over a number of offences, including sexual assault.
He showed pornography including depictions of bestiality to students, as well as engaging in physical abuse.
He told the commission he admitted to the then headmaster, Dr Ian Paterson, in 1987, that he had shown students pornography, but was not fired.
