A former Knox Grammar teacher and convicted sex offender who took the stand on Tuesday at the royal commission into child sexual abuse said he was not fired when the school learned of his abuse. Craig Treloar, a former teacher at the elite boy's school, told the inquest he expected to be fired when he was caught, but was instead shown leniency, the ABC reported. He engaged in sexual abuse with young male students at the school, as well as showing them pornographic images with some depicting bestiality. Treloar - who was convicted on a number of charges including sexual abuse in 2010 -  told the commission he expected to be sacked by the then principal Dr Ian Paterson after he admitted to showing students porn in 1987, but he was not reprimanded.
