A former teacher at one of Perth’s most prestigious girls’ schools is facing a jail term after being found guilty of sexually abusing students in the 1980s — six weeks after one of his colleagues and friends walked free from court after being cleared of similar allegations.
A District Court jury took four hours on Thursday to find 75-year-old Jay Walsh guilty of 20 charges of sexually abusing five students at Penrhos College when he worked there as a drama teacher in the 1980s.
