A former housemaster who molested ten boys – including a chorister picked to sing at his wedding – was jailed for 10 years today.

David Lowe smiled and waved at his wife as he was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court.

61-year-old Lowe 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.
