Former Chevalier College teacher, Brian Walter Napper, charged with new child sex abuse offences

Another alleged victim has come forward to report being sexually abused by a former Southern Highlands private school teacher during the 1980s.

A former Southern Highlands private school teacher has been hit with new charges after another alleged victim has come forward, bringing the number of students who have spoken out to three.

Brian Walter Napper, 74, did not appear at Moss Vale Local Court for his now 16 counts of sexual abuse, with two new charges of indecent assault of a person under authority under the age of 16 and one new charge of homosexual intercourse by a teacher of a pupil.

The documents tendered to the court state the former Chevalier College teacher committed the alleged acts in a six-month period between January 27 and June 30, 1989.

The victim who was 13 years old at the time alleges Mr Napper – his then schoolteacher and maths tutor – touched his penis and testicles twice in both Moss Vale and Burradoo (where the school is based), as well as raped him in Burradoo.

This now increases the number of students who have come forward to three, following incidents from the 1980s in the Southern Highlands.

Police previously reported that the Lakemba resident sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy four times at an undisclosed location in Mittagong.

They claim Mr Napper twice stroked the student’s penis and twice masturbated him, an act which they allege he repeated the following year when the student was 15 years old.

According to police, Mr Napper allegedly incited the same 15-year-old student to masturbate him on another occasion.

The sexual assaults with the boy were then escalated to sexual intercourse during the same year, and again the following year, according to police allegations.

Police also claim the former teacher sexually assaulted another male student on five occasions in the 1980s, four of which allegedly occurred in a three-month period.

According to police, Mr Napper sexually abused and incited the 15-year-old male student to masturbate him in an act of indecency.

They allege four of the offences took place in Moss Vale and the final assault occurred in Burradoo.

Mr Napper was arrested at 10.15am on January 18 after an investigation by the Southern Highlands police. He was granted bail due to his age and health, court documents reveal.

He has not entered pleas to the 16 offences currently before the court.

Given the fresh charges, Magistrate Mark Douglass adjourned all 16 offences to July 25 at Moss Vale Local Court, so they can be dealt with together. He is to remain on bail.
