The paedophile school inspector: Predator facing jail after downloading dozens of child abuse videos and grooming teenage boy online
By Simon Walters and Martin Beckford for The Mail on Sunday
A top schools inspector is facing jail for downloading dozens of child-abuse videos and grooming a teenage boy online, it can be revealed.
Adam Higgins was caught by police with almost 100 sick images of assaults on children on his home computer. They discovered he had also propositioned an under-15-year-old using a webcam.
After the 48-year-old pleaded guilty in court last week, education watchdog Ofsted contacted dozens of horrified headteachers to admit that a paedophile had visited their schools.
Among the schools he inspected was a £14,000-a-year prep school once attended by Prince Charles….
He had taught in schools for decades before becoming an inspector. In 2000 he was headmaster of St Paulinus Church of England primary school in Crayford, South-East London, then in charge of Lessness Heath primary school in Belvedere in Kent until 2007.
