Sydney CNN —An Australian physical education teacher who murdered his wife so he could start a new life with a teenage student has been found guilty of sexual abuse.
Dawson was found guilty last year of murdering his first wife Lynette in a conviction that ended one of Australia’s longest-running cold cases.
Judge Huggett sided with AB, finding that Dawson had groomed the teenager while she was still his pupil.
Judge Huggett said she accepted the evidence that Dawson had proposed to AB at least once in 1980, when AB was 16.
AB had testified against Dawson in the murder trial, which saw Dawson jailed for 24 years.
