A FORMER teacher at one of Scotland’s top public schools has been jailed for eight months after admitting sexually abusing pupils.
Jonathan Quick, 70, a retired Latin and sports master, admitted spanking one boy with a wooden spoon after ordering him to change into his swimming trunks and lie on his bed.
He also pleaded guilty to four other charges of spanking the bottoms of pupils in a boarding house at Dollar Academy in the 1980s, ordering the pupils to bend over his knee and pulling down their pants.
Police launched an investigation into the allegations against Quick after one of his former students died by suicide in 2002.
David Young, 23, killed himself on a trip to the Philippines after claiming he had been sexually abused by Quick.
As a result of his death, other former pupils at the school came forward and reported that Quick had touched them inappropriately.
All the pupils – male and female – had been aged between 11 and 13 when the alleged abuse took place in the 1980s.
