More Suspect Teachers from the so called Good Old Days12

When he was interviewed by police, Shotton said he only knew the boy vaguely and he had been sent to him on one occasion when he had been naughty.
Shotton, of The Twitten, Albourne, near Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, said he was shocked by the allegations and denied being alone with the boy during lunchtimes.
After an article about the teacher appeared in a local newspaper, two other victims came forward separately and independently to report similar allegations.
Prosecutor Patricia Lees told the jury: “Was it either an enormous coincidence or three people recalling very similar events from their past?”
She said the second boy had told a friend what had happened to him nearly a year before the newspaper article was written, the jury heard.
Likewise, the third boy had told his girlfriend what had happened to him before the story was published.
