The alleged attacker was reportedly being interviewed by detectives, while a second 15-year-old boy — who cannot be named — has appeared in court on charges of filming a young person committing a sexual act on another young person without their consent, producing child abuse material on his mobile phone and distributing that material on social media.
He pleaded not guilty when the case was mentioned at Glebe Childrens Court on Monday.
Cranbrook School management would not comment further due to the charges being laid.
“The matter is currently before the courts and as such it would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this stage,” the spokeswoman said.
Cranbrook headmaster Nicholas Sampson told parents in an email the “serious incident” didn’t occur on school grounds.
