Court asked to assess damages for man who says he was groped by school teacher

When he had children of his own, he said he became obsessed about protecting them from abuse and got involved in organising the various pursuits they took part in.

The man, as a child, had difficulties reading, and the teacher told him to come up to him at his desk. Counsel said he found himself between the teacher’s legs with one of his arms around the boy and the other down his trousers. He recollected it happened between 10 and 20 times. “I lost my religion because I prayed and prayed to God to get me out of this situation. So the crane became my God and the crane became my pain”, he said.

The man had two accidents in which he suffered back injuries and which left him in chronic pain. It was during treatment for this back pain that he first revealed to a doctor he had been abused.
