Peter Gerard Boys 

NSW court records indicate that Peter Gerard Boys was a former teacher who taught Music at schools such as Broadmeadows Boys High School and Cessnock High School in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. Peter Boys was also involved with teaching and directing the Marching Koalas and Broadmeadow Community bands which was comprised of students from a number of schools in the Hunter Region. It is reported that Mr Peter Boys sexually abused students, both male and female, between 1974 to 1996.

In 1997, Mr Boys was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, with a minimum term of seven and a half, after pleading guilty to eight separate crimes brought against him by NSW Police and the DPP. The crimes involved sexual offences against five girls, each of whom had been a student of Mr. Boys. The District Court in Newcastle maintained that Peter Boys ‘‘was a manipulative sexual predator who abused his position of trust, exploited his power and subjected the girls to emotional blackmail.”

Further online documents indicate that before his conviction in 1997, several fellow teachers of Mr. Boys had made complaints of his behaviour to senior teachers and to bureaucrats from the Department of Education, only to be disbelieved or ignored, and to ironically face charges themselves by an internal Education Department inquiry into the repeated failures of officials to take action against Mr. Boys. In 1997, the teachers facing charges gave evidence under code names to the NSW Woods Royal Commission into police corruption and pedophilia in the State of NSW, and were eventually exonerated by the Department of Education, with the Director-General at the time, Doctor Ken Boston, apologizing to the teachers who were wrongfully charged.
