A retired vicar and teacher has been found guilty of the historic sex abuse of four boys.

Roger Wakely, a former pastor at The Bishop Wand Church of England School, in Sunbury, had used his position to molest the boys aged from 12 to 15 years.

At Guildford Crown Court, the jury unanimously found him guilty of all 21 charges on Tuesday (November 10).

At the start of trial he pleaded guilty to an additional six counts of indecent assault involving two of the four victims.

Two of the boys attended Ealing Grammar School and one went to Bishop Wand.

Wakely abused his victims in a period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the jury was told.
