How did NZ's richest school become centre of sexual abuse cases? (1 News)

Sunday speaks with survivors who reveal what truly happened under the guise of spiritual and educational care at Dilworth.

"A lot of these guys who went through the clutches of Dilworth were completely shattered and it's horrifying to me. "Dilworth needs to sell some of its property and pass it out amongst these kids," Mark Staufer says. The next time I really spent more time with him was in the crypt." "The headmaster blamed it on me and called my mother to the school. "Itโ€™s something that I've grappled with for a long time, and why it was so hard to come forward. "They should be going to the survivors and saying how can we help you? "The most damaging thing about this, is the fact that the sexual abuse of these boys was needless. The school knew it was happening." The school knew it was happening," Neil says. His whole thing was that Jesus and the disciples had a very close relationship, much closer than weโ€™re led to believe." "It's really sad because of the innocence of those boys and how their lives have been derailed. If you were singled out, it became a day full of dread and a night full of horror."
