The Kings School in Parramatta, Australia, is the subject of a police
investigation after allegations of indecent and physical assault were
made by a group of boarding students.
Police confirmed that detectives from the child abuse squad are
investigating assault allegations made by students against other
students at a school in Sydney's north-west.
"Given those alleged to be involved are juveniles it would be
inappropriate for police to provide any further detail at this point in
time," a statement from the police media unit said.
It is understood that the allegations center around indecent and unwanted sexual contact, which include the act of "turkey slapping", where a male rubs his genitals on another's face. The headmaster of the private boys' school, Dr Tim Hawkes, confirmed that police were investigating the allegations made by students.
"The school has been made aware of an allegations and is co-operating with the police over this matter," Dr Hawkes said. In accordance with mandatory reporting requirements, all schools are required to report to authorities any incidents where a child may be at risk.
