Story summary
A 32-year-old teacher named Deandra Kontou at Newington College in Sydney, was charged with nine offenses related to sexually abusing a male student over six months, including grooming and non-consensual sexual acts during school hours and on a camp trip. After the alleged victim reported the incident to another teacher, Kontou was immediately separated from the tour group and later suspended by Newington's senior staff upon returning home.
In Melbourne, Kam Kenny-Jones, a recently terminated teacher at Methodist Ladies' College (MLC), has been charged with one count of sexual assault involving a student under 17. The incident came to light in September when concerns were raised about Kenny-Jones; the school promptly stood him down and reported it to Victoria Police.
In Isle of Wight, Melanie Rock, a 34-year-old learning support assistant at Medina College, faces charges for allegedly grooming a 15-year-old boy by giving him gifts, taking him home where she showed sex toys, and engaging in sexual acts like the "koala hug."

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
