Following Paul Stainsby’s court appearance victims of historic sexual abuse at Warwick School are now stepping forward in numbers. Today I have heard from a man who is the sixth victim, of whom I am aware, of music teacher Charles Watmough. And I have also been contacted by a chap in Scarborough where Charlie retired to after Warwick to give private piano lessons to little boys.

I am advised that I should not be allowed to attend the first hearing, tomorrow, in the case against ex Warwick School teacher Paul Stainsby tomorrow as he stands accused of 12 accusations of sexual abuse against boys. Apparently I might learn something I did not know that might contaminate my evidence lest Stainsby pleads not guilty and it goes to a full trial. But my coverage of the case and my 14 year campaign to get Warwick to accept what happened on its watch has seen more OW’s contact me. It seems old memories, buried for years, are being triggered in men now in their 40s, 50s or even older.

Perhaps this article worked. Matt Western’s office has tonight acknowledge my 29 September email. This morning I published: I wrote by email to Matt Western the Labour MP for Warwick & Leamington about historic sexual abuse at Warwick School on 29th September. I have sent messages on X but all to no avail. Today I called both his constituency office and his Westminster office after 11 AM in the morning.

Events in Edinburgh this week highlighted by Nicky Campbell, bring my mind back to historic abuse at my old school Warwick. The bastard who physically abused me, Geoffrey Eve, got a one way ticket to hell last year. But my long and, ultimately successful, campaign to get Warwick to name Eve and apologise lead to my involvement in exposing Warwick’s paedophile teachers. I have already named one, the music master Charles Watmough.

We are now on the third headmaster at Warwick School since I first raised the issue of historic abuse. At that time, Geoffrey Eve, the man who twice smashed my head against the wall, was 86 but Gus Locke then Deneal Smith kicked the issue into the long grass. Now it seems as if James Barker, the new head and an OW himself, is intent on continuing the cover up culture.
