flag A former teacher sentenced to 15 months in prison for grooming and kissing students, with release expected in July 2026.

flag Vasilious Kafataris, 57, a former school teacher, was sentenced to an additional nine months in prison for grooming a 15-year-old student in 2014, including late-night calls where he exposed himself and pressured her to touch herself. flag He also admitted to kissing a 17-year-old student twice on the lips outside school, claiming it was cultural, which the court rejected. flag The judge emphasized the significant age gap, breach of trust, and Kafataris’s supervisory role in sports and after-school programs, rejecting his claim that six months on remand were sufficient. flag He received a 15-month sentence with a non-parole period backdated to April 2025, making him eligible for release in July 2026, and an 11-month community corrections order for the touching offenses.
