A former student from Dilworth claims abuse was rife and the school not only turned a blind eye but threatened him with legal action and expulsion when he raised questions.
Seven men connected to the Auckland boy's boarding school have been arrested this week on charges of indecent assault, sexual violation and supplying prohibited drugs.
The men are aged between 60 and 70 and the offending happened over more than three decades, from the 1970's onwards.
Police say there are 17 victims and they have had dozens of calls since they appealed for more people to come forward.
Dilworth old boy Steven Gray is not a victim but he told our reporter Charlotte Cook when he started at Dilworth in the 70s it was common knowledge certain staff were abusing students and he was warned to steer clear.
