The shocking depths of disgraced fake school principal Neil Lennie's fraudulence has been laid bare - with revelations he also masqueraded as a doctor and even tried to launch his own exclusive private school.
The now 72-year old narrowly avoided being jailed in March for a scam which started in 1976 - 44 years ago - when he scored his first job in a school by lying that he had a degree in teaching.
Lennie was in fact a serial university drop-out who had only finished Year 12.
He was sentenced in the County Court of Victoria to a suspended jail term and community corrections order after pleading guilty to four counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception over the life-long scam.
