There are major question being raised about the failure of state authorities and police to respond to complaints by students at the St. Andrew’s Christian school. Sarah Johnson and Bec Gavan say that, not only were their complaints about St. Andrew’s Christian School headmaster Frank Bailey, but they were later expelled from the associated college. In late 2006, Hazel Bell, a science teacher, also raised the alarm to the board, but was terminated by Bailey. Bailey later pleaded guilty after being charged with drugging and raping a different teenage girl.
Bailey has pleaded guilty to five sexual offenses in Australia.
Bell was concerned with what she saw as inappropriate contact by Bailey with students after hours and at pool parties.
She alleges that her name was released in violation of protections for whistleblowers.
Bailey notably abolished the school’s “no touch” policy — writing in a newsletter that “students had free will to love whoever they liked”.
The two former students are now suing the Presbyterian Church.

I guess they will have numerous employment opportunities opening soon…. For a head master near you.
The school promised them it would not happen again. Didn’t those girls see that it was best to look forward rather than seek retribution?
Dwight,
Just to clarify, you’re making a joke by comparing this to Obama’s mistreatment of the torture prosecutions, correct? I had to be sure, hehe.
The saga still goes on another victim still no accountability from the school,my daughter tried to re-enrol but they refused to let her as she couldn’t be kept quiet.they also told other students they would also be expelled for inferring he was a pedophile. So dwight retrabution may protect others as the school certainley did’nt
