A female teacher at one of Australia's most prestigious schools was the victim of an attempted blackmail attempt by a male student who demanded she send him nude photos.
Jasmin Hyde, who taught maths at Cranbrook in Sydney's exclusive Eastern Suburbs, was subject of a blackmail attempt by a student in June 2020.
It is one of several allegations of a toxic culture within the elite school made in a Four Corners documentary which aired on Monday evening, with other female teachers allegedly subjected to wolf-whistling and catcalls.
The pupil threatened to accuse Ms Hyde of sexually abusing him if she did not send him nude pictures.
The boy was eventually suspended and chose to leave the $46,000-a-year school.
He wrote Ms Hyde an apologetic letter saying he was ashamed and devastated by his behaviour.

'I have caused so much hurt and disappointment to you, my teachers and the wider school community, my friends and my family,' the student wrote.
But Ms Hyde was most disappointed in the school's response and took her complaint to the Australian Human Rights
