Teacher was ‘predatory paedophile’

Christopher Roy Bacon was described as an arrogant ‘predatory paedophile’ who used his position to ‘prey on vulnerable pupils’.

The 74-year-old was found guilty following an Assize jury trial involving seven charges of indecent assault and one count of procuring an act of gross indecency in the late 70s and early 80s at d’Hautrée School. The offences were committed against six boys.

Reporting restrictions on the case, which was heard in the Royal Court in November, were only lifted yesterday at the end of a second trial Bacon faced this week, in which he was acquitted of a separate charge of indecent assault against a young teenage girl not connected to the school.

Bacon, who has been remanded in custody, is due to be sentenced by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on 15 March.
