Retired Principal Faces Sexual Assault Trial | Perth News
Description
A retired assistant principal in NSW is facing serious sexual assault charges in a trial that’s reigniting national conversations about child safety in schools. Neil Morrison, 69, is accused of multiple assaults on a primary school student — allegedly occurring on school grounds during his teaching days — with charges including sexual intercourse with a child under ten and aggravated assault with a child aged 10–14. The trial, which began nearly three years after his arrest, features testimony from the alleged victim describing being taken to a storeroom and assaulted, as well as another former student recounting groping incidents — though those aren’t formally charged. Morrison has pleaded not guilty, and the case is expected to last several weeks. For anyone affected, support is available through Lifeline, Kids Helpline, and 1800 RESPECT.
