The school became aware of the allegations after an alleged victim told his parents about the ‘assault’
St John’s College’s executive headmaster Stuart West confirmed in a letter to parents that an independent investigation had revealed allegations of sexual assault by a former teacher.A former teacher at St John’s College in Johannesburg was arrested on March 30 after several ex-pupils laid charges of sexual assault against him on November 15.
The institution said an independent investigation by a child protection expert resulted in other past pupils coming forward to report alleged sexual assault by the same teacher. “We are not in a position to comment on the details of the case or any recent proceedings as this is a criminal matter between the accused and the judicial system.”
He said like many schools in the country they were “addressing enhancements to our existing safeguarding measures to ensure that we live out our duty of care to our boys, every day and in every way”.
