Vic: Video abuse scandal now embroils elite school
Melbourne's prestigious Xavier College has been embroiled in a new scandal .. this
time over a video of classmates kicking .. pushing and taunting a 15-year-old fellow student.
A relative of the victim says he believes police will begin investigating the source
of the video today.
News Limited papers report the bullying was filmed last October by another student
on a mobile phone .. and was distributed to others via other phones and the internet.
It was also briefly uploaded to the YouTube video sharing website.
Five Xavier students have been suspended over the incident .. which the college's development
director GRAHAM SHARP describes as a prank that got out of hand.
Two days ago it was revealed one Xavier student was expelled for allegedly selling
marijuana at the school .. while others had been suspended for allegedly buying it.
