The Australian Press Council has found the Herald Sun newspaper breached its Standards Of Practice when it referred to sexual abuse by a teacher as ‘sex-ed’.
The Herald Sun printed an article on 22 February 2022 that reported on the sexual abuse of a minor by his then-teacher at a Victorian school in the 1990s. The article’s headline was “Out-of-school sex ed” and the subheading: “Female teacher admits violating boys”.
