Former Sydney teacher Vasilious Kafataris allegedly sent underage girl explicit picture, gifts

·

A Sydney court heard on Thursday that former English teacher Vasilious (Bill) Kafataris, accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl, allegedly sent her an explicit photo and showered her with gifts, including red lingerie.

A jury – which on Thursday began its deliberations – heard this after Judge Alister Abadee begun his summing up in the Parramatta District Court trial of Mr Kafataris.

The 56-year-old has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexually touching a person aged between 17 and 18 under special care. He has entered a not guilty plea regarding two counts of grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity, as well as charges of common assault and indecent assault of a minor under 16.

Three alleged victims include a young woman he is accused of having intercourse with him in his Bankstown apartment when she was 15. The incidents allegedly spanned from January 2013 to May 2021.
