Paedophile teacher Christopher Howarth’s former school has paid tribute to the bravery of his victims who came forward to bring him to justice.
The ex-Uckfield Community Technology College deputy head teacher was convicted on Friday of 26 counts of abuse against two young boys.
It followed a two-week trial during which one of his victims said he was initially reluctant to come forward to police because of the 68-year-old’s status in the community.
The college today released a statement branding the actions of the former lay priest as “shocking and abhorrent”.
