"May cause child abuse/rape triggers"
A former headmaster who sexually and physically abused boys in a 'reign of terror' was jailed for 21 years yesterday.
Derek Slade's victims had 'lost days of childhood innocence' and become men whose 'lives were seriously damaged', said Judge Peter Fenn during sentencing.
The 61 year old was convicted of beating and sexually assaulting 12 boys aged between eight and thirteen between 1978 and 1983. Detectives found 4,486 child porn images on two external hard drives and data sticks at his home in Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire. They also discovered essays written in Greek - giving details of the beatings and stories about boys being sexually abused. The self-confessed paedophile graduated from Oxford University with a degree in classics in the 1960s.
The attacks took place at St George's School, which Slade opened in 1978 in Wicklewood, Norfolk, and moved to Great Finborough, Suffolk, in 1980.
In some cases, he would beat the pupils, who were children of service men and women, and rub his victims' genitals under the pretence of comforting them. Slade resigned from the School in 1983 and set up Dalesdown School in Horsham, West Sussex, where he later assaulted pupils.
He was arrested after former pupils complained two years ago. One victim described the assaults as 'reigns of terror'.
Slade admitted assault, indecent assault and child pornography offences. He denied other allegations of assault and indecent assault, but was found guilty by the Ipswich Crown Court. His victims said in a joint statement: 'He stole our childhoods. What should have been the happiest years of our lives were turned into the most fearful.
Derek Slade should never have the opportunity to come in contact with children again.
