The former schoolgirl with whom convicted wife killer Chris Dawson had an unlawful sexual relationship is suing the state of NSW for damages, claiming it failed to protect her from being groomed and sexually abused by the Cromer High School teacher.
The department, through its staff, knew or ought to have known about the “ongoing inappropriate and sexually abusive relationship” between her and Dawson, she alleges, and Dawson accompanied her to school events including the formal, where she sat at the staff table.She also alleges the principal at the time dismissed concerns raised by two other students about her eating lunch in Dawson’s locked office by telling them “to stop being ‘silly girls’” .
The woman alleges that Dawson, then a physical education teacher, deliberately altered arrangements so that she would be in his class in year 11 in 1980 and sexually abused her for the first time later that year.
