A group of students from Sydney's elite Knox Grammar School
are under investigation over allegations they shared videos
depicting child abuse, rape and assault and engaged in
misogynistic, racist and homophobic discussions in a closed online
chat group.
Parents of students have been notified that specialist
detectives from the NSW Police Force Child Abuse and Crimes Squad
are investigating what has been described as "inappropriate
images and... offensive commentary in an online private
chatroom".
Content leaked
to media
It has been reported that the school had already finalised an
internal investigation – suspending come of the students and
expelling others – before the content was 'leaked' to
the media and referred to police by a source other than the school
thereafter.
