A former head teacher accused of historical sexual abuse may be one of the most prolific paedophiles in recent Welsh history, solicitors representing his alleged victims have claimed.

Lawyers said Jon Styler, from Newport – who killed himself while being investigated by police – could have abused more than 100 boys.

He strongly denied all allegations.

The Children’s Commissioner for Wales said the way the case was handled by police should be looked at again. …

Mr Styler hanged himself in 2007 after allegations emerged earlier that year that he had abused a boy at the former Malpas Church in Wales Primary School.
