WESTERN Cape education authorities are considering expelling three Oudtshoorn High School pupils for allegedly making a sex video.
"A disciplinary hearing was held and the school governing body has made the recommendation ... that the three learners be expelled," education spokesman Bronagh Casey said yesterday.
"The head of department's office has received the documents from the school governing body and is now processing the recommendation."
Casey said the head of department would make the final decision on whether or not they should be expelled.
The pupils were arrested last month after a cellphone video clip was shown around the school.
The boys, aged 16, 17 and 18, were found guilty of serious misconduct in a school disciplinary hearing, but continued to attend school pending a final decision.
The oldest boy is writing his matric exams. Two of the boys allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old girl while the third filmed them.
They will appear in the Oudtshoorn magistrate's court on December 2 on charges of statutory rape.
A fourth boy, also 17, will appear on charges of manufacturing and distributing child pornography.
There were reportedly two incidents, one in May and another in September, on the hostel grounds and at the De Jager sporting complex.
Oudtshoorn police spokesman Louis Visser said teachers had heard about the sex video and informed the girl's parents, who laid the charges. The police said the cellphone had been confiscated and sent for forensic testing.
