One of Sydney`s private schools, female teacher`s husband, sent a copy of porn content to boys in another private school in the new state at the school, sparking a stir.
In October 2017, the husband sent a video of his sexual behavior to a 17-year-old boy on social media, which was seen by several students in his wife`s school.

The chat included his reference to the boy as "my little boy" and the student`s confirmation that he was 17 years old. The legal age for sexual behavior in the new state is 16.
A parent reported the incident to police and schools within hours of the incident.
On October 11, 2017, the school`s headmaster sent a letter labeled "confidential" to the parents of some high school students, stating that the "partner" of one of the school`s staff members had committed "improper use of social media" in the school. "relevant departments", including the police, have been notified.
The headmaster said "those involved are not allowed to return to school", but the letter also gave parents a "directive": "I would appreciate it if you don`t discuss it in private, because I believe you value the privacy of our employees very much." Our employees are respected and loved by girls and their parents. "
"this is clearly a very sensitive issue, and we have provided support to all those involved, especially our staff."
The letter pointed out that the female teacher did not know what was going on. The headmaster said her husband`s actions "run counter to our values and to anyone`s expectations of the school."
One parent said the request, which could not be discussed with other parents, "gives the impression that this is not an injunction, but it is an insult because we cannot discuss it in any way."
The parent also expressed concern that the school`s statement, which expressed support for the "highly respected and beloved" staff, could have a negative impact on the students who reported the matter.
"the girls who know about it are still talking about it, especially the current information about homosexual love and the position of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney on this issue," the parent said.
Last week, the Archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Sydney, Glen? Davis (Glenn Davies) said a letter to federal lawmakers had been misinterpreted as "homophobia," calling for immunity from religious schools under the Sex Discrimination Act until other forms of legal protection were introduced.
The letter, signed by the principals of 34 Anglican schools in Sydney and Illawarra, triggered nearly 2700 alumni of protest and petition to withdraw the letter.
New state police media said police had "extensively investigated" allegations of misuse of communications equipment after receiving reports, but "found no criminal offences."
The school`s headmaster said she could not comment because it involved child protection. "it is important that the school responds immediately to the notice and listens to the police and other relevant authorities."
The well-being of students and employees is always the most important, she says.
