More Suspect Teachers from the so called Good Old Days17

Mr Mackie said he had considered jailing Quick for a year, but reduced the sentence to eight months because he pleaded guilty at an early date. He also placed Quick on the sex offenders’ register for 12 months.
Mr Mackie said: “The offences to which you have pleaded guilty were an appalling breach of trust.
“You were a respected teacher of classics, sports and other activities.
“As a result, your offending elicits the strongest feelings of abhorrence and repugnance in society.
“Worst of all, your offending has caused harm to your victims which it is impossible to calculate – harm which is more profound and pervasive than any physical injury might be.
“It is for these reasons – not least to give your victims some recognition and closure on their experiences at your hands – that I consider that any disposal by this court should include a high element of punishment and retribution.
“That can only be achieved by a custodial sentence.”
