833. The Gow School

The Gow School came to the attention of the media when alleged victims of abuse stepped forward and ended what was silence after the alleged rapes conducted by an English teacher. Stress due to the alleged rape has meant difficulties for the victims to move forward in life.

The school made their own investigation instead of handing the matter over the police. The school concluded that the circumstances no longer were present in 2002. However the incidents, the former students made aware off, took place before this year.

So it could have been likely that the abuse took place and that is why it is odd that the school chooses to investigate a later period.

It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager back in the 1990’s
