My bad. Apologies! And I thought I was treading so carefully too. Delete anything I've written that needs to be removed. And I'll log off so I can't post anything!

If pressed I might say I went to boarding school depending who I'm talking to and whether I want to answer questions about it, but I've never thought of it as a 'public school' so I wouldn't use those words.

That's my understanding too.

He and JAH went to Lewes prison after their guilty verdicts last summer. June possibly? It'll be on a previous thread somewhere.

Very little press coverage this time around. I was hoping that the press would name the teacher the victim confided in. I’m interested to know whether it’s a familiar name from previous trials. Press might cover it once the verdict and sentencing are done? It's all very close to the publication of ...

Once the jury has reached a verdict, and if he's found guilty, does anyone know how long until a sentence is handed down? Last year's cases are to be considered in the sentencing as well.

Twice! 1986 and 1987. I’m not sure I would have paid much, if any attention, as a young teen. I generally remember the sermons being mind numbingly dull, but likely many of them would interest (or offend) me as an adult. I do remember Simon Weston speaking but no other standouts. Now it's been ment...

Very much. Thank you for such a comprehensive reply. I had wondered whether it was a combination of the number of victims + length of offending that was the differentiating factor between the two men.

Can one of the forum's legal eagles explain why there has been a gap between Karim's verdict and sentencing when Husband's was fairly soon after his conviction?

No house / teaching staff gave a rats arse. I've written elsewhere about reporting Rick's mental state to house staff and getting the brush off. Maybe I should have been more persistent and tried elsewhere but I didn't to my continuing regret. I'm sorry you too felt unsupported, Scazza. J.R., I'm n...

People don't always abide by the law of the land. The church is about forgiveness and once the sentence has been served is the slate clean? DBS checks should now show up his conviction but people can be manipulative and not accepting of reality.

After Rick Slater died in 1990, a man called Dr Ken Little was brought in to assist those who needed it, as the school psychologist. I tried to contact him last summer to pass on some family news. I tried an old email address, several months later a reply from an unnamed person to say he'd died. I r...

Didn't Baker oppose the merger which is why he was removed from post and Hansford drafted in to oversee the conjoining of the schools with the headmistress of Hertford?
