Yeah, he was a couple years below me (plum’s year, I think). He came to CH as a promising musician - I was head chorister the year he started and Allwood brought him in to chapel choir almost immediately, which was a rare event. He was in Thorn A with me too. I just remember him being quiet, relatively well liked etc. No clues that something like this would happen. I guess that’s what these events teach us though - it’s not always out in the open and obvious and it’s often the ones you don’t expect.

They would have been at the school at the same time, but I don’t remember Husband teaching Juniors, which Ben would have been at the time. Ben did have an older sister at the school, who would have been around the same age as the girl that Husband had a ‘consensual affair’ with.AMP wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 8:25 pmWould he have known Husband?graham wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 7:37 pmYeah, he was a couple years below me (plum’s year, I think).

In that case he was probably aware of three masters getting away with it, as he would have known Dobbie through the Chapel Choir.DazedandConfused wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 9:30 pmThey would have been at the school at the same time, but I don’t remember Husband teaching Juniors, which Ben would have been at the time.

Likely unrelated, but perhaps worth reading LRL’s recent post on the thread ‘Did anyone know?’ Ben was certainly friends with the girl who had a relationship with a teacher, so he would have seen at least one teacher seemingly getting away with that behaviour.
Karim was this era also, so make that four.AMP wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 9:47 pmIn that case he was probably aware of three masters getting away with it, as he would have known Dobbie through the Chapel Choir.DazedandConfused wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 9:30 pmThey would have been at the school at the same time, but I don’t remember Husband teaching Juniors, which Ben would have been at the time.

And Husband and Breakwell lived in York.

You think Breakwell did it because "he would have seen at least one teacher seemingly getting away with that behaviour" when he was a school...??
Jesus wept.
What....so they were obviously in cahoots...? Come off it, this is more Clouseau than Poirot...AMP wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 10:39 pmSame MO as Husband.Pe.A wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 10:33 pmDon't mean to take the piss, but that really does sound like you're grasping at dots to link up...DazedandConfused wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 9:30 pm
