Former Waterlooville scoutmaster and teacher Gary Coy, 65, groomed, isolated and abused the 12-year-old boy, rubbing his body and genitals when he had him alone.
Prosecutor William Sneddon said Coy repeatedly touched the 12-year-old schoolboy who felt ‘unwell and nauseous’ at his actions in the late 1980s.
The boy said Coy ‘pulled’ him close and ‘asked if it was okay’ and started ‘rubbing my chest’ before touching him intimately.
In a victim statement, the man said: ‘The incident has had a massive impact on my life.’
He suffered from difficulties in forming relationships and alcohol abuse.
The man added: ‘The incident is never going to go away, and affects everything.’
he court heard Coy had been jailed in 1995 for nine charges of indecent assaults against young boys.
At the time he confessed to 23 other offences but ‘forgot’ about the 12-year-old boy in the latest prosecution.
Following his release he was prosecuted in April 2009 for two indecent assaults against boys under 14 in 1973 and handed a community rehabilitation order.
But he was freshly investigated in 2019 over the abuse of the child in the latest case, and pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting him earlier this year.
HGV driver Coy, a former teacher at Priory School in Portsmouth and Crookhorn School, was handed a two-year jail term suspended for two years.
He must complete 30 days’ rehabilitation activities and sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years.
He told Coy: ‘You behaved in a disgraceful way. You groomed this child aged 12 and it’s quite obvious that was your plan.’
He added: ‘You assaulted him sexually in a way which has caused him untold harm and damage ever since.’
Coy must pay £5,000 compensation to the victim, but Charles Derham of Remedy Law comments ‘This sum is likely to only go a small way to provide true recompense for the assaults and will not even cover the therapeutic treatment that may be required.’
