The principal of an elite private school has admitted allegations boys were raping fellow students with implements were not properly investigated.

A boy, known as CLB, claimed older students at Trinity Grammar had tried to rape him by ‘lifting his legs in the air and pumping at his bottom’ on August 11, 2000.

CLB reported the incident to the Summer Hill, inner-west Sydney, school the same day with allegations they had raped him with objects more than 50 times. He said they had been sticking a 30cm wooden dildo made in wood-tech class up other students’ bottoms.

Principal Milton Cujes told the royal commission into child abuse the school had to decide on a punishment for the culprits ‘in the context of a Friday afternoon’ ahead of trial HSC exams the following week.
