PORT ELIZABETH - SCANDAL ROCKS GREY JUNIOR AS ALLEGATIONS OF SEXTING & SEX ACTS SURFACE

Sexually explicit photographs and claims that an aftercare supervisor performed sexual acts on schoolboys as young as 12 are being investigated at a prestigious Port Elizabeth primary school, Grey Junior.

While the investigation continues, the school has closed ranks, refusing to say much more than that the matter is “sub judice”.

Grey Junior’s attorney, Craig Jessop, yesterday confirmed that an investigation was pending and that a woman, 22, had been suspended.

The young woman at the centre of the probe has, in the meantime, consulted top Port Elizabeth attorney Danie Gouws.

The boys who were allegedly sent the photographs are not believed to be part of the aftercare group, which only caters for Grade 1 to Grade 3 pupils.

A source close to the investigation, who did not want to be named, said more than 10 boys had allegedly received photographs of female genitals with allegations of sexual acts “taking place in the cloakroom” also surfacing earlier this month.

When contacted for comment, the young woman, who is not being named due to the nature of the alleged crime, said she had nothing to say and did not know anything about an investigation.

When asked why she was not at work, she said she was on sick leave.

Gouws confirmed yesterday that the woman was “a client of my offices”.

He said: “It seems there is an investigation [into the allegations]. I have been in contact with Grey’s attorneys and we are trying to deal with it.”
