Elite school teens face court on sexual assault charges

Judge Sue Duncombe said the case has drawn heavy media attention, with online identification already causing repercussions for some of the teenagers.

  • On Tuesday, three Scots College students appeared in Surry Hills Children's Court facing charges of aggravated sexual assault against a 14-year-old girl. The boys, aged 13, 14, and 14, remained outside the courtroom during proceedings.
  • Police allege the incident occurred during a 55-minute window on July 22 in a Bondi Junction alleyway, prompting search warrants across Sydney's eastern suburbs. Court documents established the alleged assault timeframe on the Wednesday evening.
  • The trio remains on strict police bail with interim Apprehended Violence Orders prohibiting them from approaching within 200 metres of the complainant. Additional conditions include nightly curfews and bans on social media use and contacting co-offenders.
  • Judge Sue Duncombe warned media about protecting the teenagers' identities, stating "This matter has obviously attracted a lot of media attention so far." She noted the boys had already suffered "some repercussions" from being identified, including one defendant's home being targeted.
  • Scots College principal Ian Lambert warned students against making online threats on Sunday, while the school stated it is cooperating with NSW Police. The matter returns to court on October 20 when the brief of evidence is due.
