A former teacher and choirmaster has been found guilty of attempted buggery and two counts of indecent assault against two boys.
John Lillis was convicted by the jury at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday (August 13). He had already pleaded guilty to four other counts of indecent assault between 1973 and 1982 at an earlier hearing.
Lillis, a teacher at St Dunstan’s Catholic Primary School in Woking at the time of the offences, was allowed to continue in his job at a Woking church 20 years after first admitting indecently assaulting the boys, the court heard.
The 63-year-old, now of Arthur Road, Windsor, was first confronted in 1989 about the offences.
