POLICE have launched an investigation into allegations of child abuse at The Southport School
from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
A Gold Coast businessman said he had spoken to the elite private boys school after making public a confession by his father, a retired TSS teacher.
His father allegedly told him: “I’ve done some bad things. I raped and molested (student) while he was a boarder at the school. It wasn’t just me. There were other teachers and other students.”
TSS contacted the Brisbane Anglican diocese late last week and, as part of their protocol, police were immediately made aware of the complaint.
