Exclusive Sydney boys' school student's rape case adjourned

A Sydney private school student accused of raping a teenage girl in a filmed attack has been excused from attending court as he now lives interstate.

The 15-year-old, who was a boarder at the exclusive male-only Cranbrook School in Bellevue Hill, is accused of raping the girl at a house party in early March while another boy filmed it.

The 15-year-old girl was intoxicated during the alleged incident and did not know what had happened until she was told via text message the next day, according to court documents.

Police have seized footage of the alleged attack, the documents state.

The boy accused of rape has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, while the other boy, who is also 15, has been charged with filming and disseminating child abuse material.

The accused rapist had his first court appearance scheduled for today but he was excused from appearing and the matter was adjourned until May 2, when the other boy also has a court mention.

Magistrate Sue Duncombe continued the boy's bail and an interim AVO for the protection of the alleged victim.

Ms Duncombe further excused him from attending the May court mention because he is living interstate.
