Former principal, David Standen has pleaded guilty to 18 child sex charges committed during his teaching career.

The 66-year old had confessed to the offenses, which took place when he was a Year 7 dormitory master at St.Patrick’s College in Goulburn between 1978 and 1981.

Mr Standen had also admitted to a further six child sex offenses, which will be taken into account by Judge Martin Blackmore when the former principal remains in custody and he will return to court on April 15 for sentencing.
