When Katrina Munting started her science degree at the University of Tasmania in 2002, she found the teacher who had sexually abused her when she was a high school student just a few years before was working at the same university's science department, a court has been told.
Ms Munting was sexually abused by Marcus James Pollard, her science teacher at Hobart's Rose Bay High School, in 1998 and 1999. Pollard, now aged 66, pleaded guilty in 2020 to persistent sexual abuse of a young person and was sentenced to three years' jail.
