Three Sydney Private School Students Charged With Sexual Assault
Three male students from a Sydney private school have been charged following an investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. Police executed search warrants at multiple homes, seizing electronic devices and several items including replica firearms.
Police in Sydney have charged three male students from a private school following an investigation into an alleged sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. The incident reportedly occurred last month in an alleyway located in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Following reports of the assault, authorities conducted coordinated search warrants at several residential properties on Thursday morning. During these searches, police seized a number of electronic devices, which are currently undergoing forensic examination. In addition to the digital evidence, officers recovered two replica firearms, a Glock-style BB gun, three laser pointers, and a vehicle number plate.
While the ABC reported the charges broadly as involving "three Sydney boys," the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) identified the students as being from Scots College. The Guardian also confirmed the students attended a Sydney boys’ private school but did not name the specific institution. The legal proceedings are in their early stages, and the investigation remains ongoing as police analyze the seized items.
