THE pain for one of Sydney's most prestigious schools, Knox Grammar, may only be beginning, with more claims of historic sexual abuse after the arrest of a second teacher over alleged assaults in the 1980s.
The publicity surrounding the arrests has resulted in a number of phone calls to detectives, and Hornsby police are looking into the information provided.
"We have received a number of further phone calls from potential victims relating to this particular school … those claims will be rigorously investigated," Superintendent Shane White said yesterday.
Superintendent White made the comments shortly after Barrie Tiffin Stewart, a former music teacher and tennis coach of 30 years' standing at Knox, faced court over the alleged sexual assault in the 1980s of two Knox boys, aged 10 and 12.
On Tuesday, Craig Howard Treloar, a year 6 teacher, was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of indecent assault in 1986 of two Knox boys, aged 11 and 12.
Looking drawn and with red eyes, Stewart sat quietly in the dock of court one at Hornsby Local Court yesterday as four charges of child sexual assault against two boys were read out.
One of the boys, who was allegedly abused by Stewart on a school camp in 1984 when he was 10, was also allegedly abused two years later by Treloar.
Stewart also allegedly abused a 12-year-old Knox boy in 1987, while he drove the boy in a car.
He was bailed yesterday, but ordered by Magistrate Lesley Brennan not to "mix socially with young boys".
Stewart, a New Zealand national, had his passport confiscated and must report to police regularly.
Later Superintendent White said the allegations made were "extremely serious, abhorrent" and asked anyone with information to contact police.
"Your report, no matter how trivial you think it may be, will be treated seriously and investigated," he said.
Yesterday afternoon the unfolding story left a line of visibly stunned Knox parents waiting for their children at the school.
One parent told the Herald how her 12-year-old son had told her on Tuesday that his teacher, Treloar, had been charged with child sexual assault.
"I'm still very shocked. It's not something you can rationalise. I met [Treloar] at a parent-teacher night. He seemed so normal," she said.
The parent also said she had received an email from the school's headmaster, John Weeks, yesterday afternoon which said the school had only just become aware of the accusations and was offering students counselling.
The mother expressed her concern that an alleged pedophile had been able to work at the school, and that a second teacher, albeit former, had been arrested.
Stewart is due to reappear at Hornsby Local Court on March 4. |
