A former housemaster at a prestigious Catholic private school has been jailed for 10 years for sexually abusing pupils.

David Lowe, 61, took advantage of boys as they slept in their dormitory beds and during singing lessons at Westminster Cathedral Choir School, London’s Southwark Crown Court heard.

Lowe invited the youngsters to his flat and “spanked” them when they had broken school rules. He also crept into the vulnerable pupils’ dormitory and touched them intimately while carrying out night-time checks, his trial was told.
