A FORMER Toowoomba schoolboy who says he was sexually assaulted at school has blasted an offer of counselling as “too little too late”.
David Patterson was a student at Toowoomba Anglican College and Preparatory School in 1969/70 when he was eight.
He said he was abused by a teacher and accused of being a liar for reporting it to the school and his parents.
He has since spent time in psychiatric wards, starting with Lowson House in 1978.
