It was satisfying to see my erstwhile boarding master at Knox
Grammar, Neil Albert Futcher, "found guilty by a jury of 22 child sex
charges, including eight counts of buggery" last Wednesday.
As reported by the Herald, as the verdicts were read out, the court room was filled with the sounds of sobbing. Futcher, as far as it is known, did not offend while at Knox in 1974 – and I have asked many of my fellow boarders – but wreaked a terrible trail of destruction once he moved to Trinity Grammar the following year. Bravo, to those former Trinity boys, now in their 50s, who came forward and gave their evidence that saw him convicted.
