The revelation comes after the SA Education Department and the Education Minister's office claiming no referral had taken place at the time. The teacher was only suspended on full pay last month after the Australian first reported on the scandal, which saw the former student receive $30,000 in "hush" money from the Department to remain quiet on the matter. ###### Share this [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/12/sa-teacher-porn-scandal-intensifies%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/12/sa-teacher-porn-scandal-intensifies](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/12/sa-teacher-porn-scandal-intensifies%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/12/sa-teacher-porn-scandal-intensifies) ##### About the Author ![](https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(24).png) **CompliSpace** CompliSpace is Ideagen’s SaaS-enabled solution that helps organisations in highly-regulated industries meet their governance, risk, compliance and policy management obligations. ## Resources you may like ###### Article ##### Setting your boarding staff up for success: why policy clarity matters Boarding governance touches on child safety, complaints handling, student health, and much more....
