A lawyer fighting for justice for alleged sex abuse victims of a primary school head has urged others to come forward.
In 2012 the M.E.N. revealed how the late John Mulligan, head of St Anne’s Catholic School in Ancoats, was accused of raping and sexually abusing a pupil 40 years earlier.
His alleged victim, now 61 and living in east Manchester, is suing the city council over the claims.
Since our stories 44 witnesses have come forward and 18 of them are mounting a group action against the education authority, Manchester City Council, for compensation.
The former pupils allege Mulligan would make them stand naked after they got out of the showers while he ‘checked’ if they were dry.
