LORD JUSTICE SIMON:
"The enduring impact on these mature ladies of being molested in this way as young teenage girls is movingly described in their own words. It is a telling reflection of the pupil-teacher relationship that [VK] refers to you throughout in her victim personal statement as Mr Jones. She recalls how you made her feel special, complimented her on her sporting skill and appeared interested and cared about her. Such observations could be made about many fine teachers who have followed this honourable profession with distinction over the years. However, for you it was a charade and a device. Gaining in turn the confidence of [VK] and then similarly aged girls – other similarly aged girls – was the means by which you went on to exploit and abuse that relationship in the several ways described by the prosecution. You relied on them to keep secret what you had done to them and they each bore that burden for many years, whilst you continued to lead an outwardly respectable life as a man of apparent good character. In fact, as a consequence of your pleas to this indictment you had been a clandestine sex offender since the age of 19 when you were a trainee teacher at college in Plymouth."
