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.

Five OWs have now come forward to allege sexual abuse against former Warwick School music teacher Charles Watmough. He was interviewed under caution by the Police but for reasons I cannot explain they decided not to prosecute. I tracked him down to Scarborough where he now lives, a couple of years ago, and attempted to doorstep him but he refused to answer the door. Over the weekend another OW has been in touch.

Friday 23rd of January was a day of drama in the Warwick School historic abuse saga and Paul Stainsby’s Court appearance prompted the school to send out an offensively misleading letter to alumni and parents. Since then, thanks to the power of Google, I have been swamped with emails from boys recounting horrors past, chatted to some and can reveal that another teacher from my era is now under Police investigation.

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.

I have been campaigning about the historic sexual and physical abuse at my old school Warwick since 2011. For years Warwick covered it up and protected the evil men responsible. Two headmasters fobbed me and other victims off and the School had the brass neck to write to all OWS denying that it ever had a problem with sexual abuse. Now I can name a man who it is alleged is the worst paedophile of the lot for in today’s Christmas Eve post is a letter from the Criminal Justice System: Paul Stainsby has been charged.
