Perth Catholic school teacher jailed for sexual offences against teenage student

A teacher at a Perth Catholic college, who claimed his sexual abuse of a teenage student was a "mutually beneficial relationship", has been jailed for more than six years, with a judge slamming his explanation as an attempt to "victim blame".

The name of the man, and the school where he was a maths teacher, cannot be published to protect the identity of the victim, who was 16 and 17 when he repeatedly sexually assaulted her in her final year of studies.
