A Catholic public school master from Bristol who molested ten boys including a chorister picked to sing at his wedding was jailed for ten years today.

David Lowe, 61, from Charlotte Street South, in Clifton, put pupils through years of sexual abuse while teaching at two of the country’s most prestigious boarding schools.

The tutor sexually assaulted six boys at Westminster Cathedral Choir School and four at Ampleforth College – the leading Catholic school in North Yorkshire – between 1978 and 1984.

Married Lowe crept around boys’ dormitories at night fondling and spanking them as they drifted off to sleep in their bunk-beds.

The father-of-five also carried out attacks during piano lessons and even in a sick bay.
