The headmaster and teacher of a former Fife school for troubled boys have been convicted of physical and sexual abuse against six pupils more than 30 years ago.
John Farrell, 73, and Paul Kelly, 64, preyed on youngsters at St Ninian’s in Fife, which was run by the Catholic Christian Brothers organisation.
The pair abused the boys – many who already had a chaotic upbringing and whom they should have been protecting – to satisfy their depraved needs.
Farrell, who was the headmaster, was convicted of physically abusing one boy and sexually abusing three others.
Kelly was found guilty of sexually abusing two boys and sexually and physically abusing a third.
