Disgraced former Knox Grammar School teacher Christopher Fotis continued to work in both the public and Catholic education system after being caught exposing his genitals in public, a royal commission has heard.
Fotis, 52, was asked to resign from the prestigious private school in 1989 after being arrested for exposing himself.
He told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that he worked as a casual teacher in NSW public schools and a Catholic school for six or seven months in 1990 following his arrest.
Fotis told commissioner Jennifer Coate he was never asked to provide proof of his experience when working as a casual teacher.
The commission heard when former Knox Grammar headmaster Ian Paterson became aware of the incident, he asked Fotis to resign.
