A former housemaster who sexually abused boys at an exclusive boarding school was jailed for a third time today – just a few days before his release date.
Peter Webb, 77, was due to be released this Friday after serving a five-and-a-half year sentence for abusing boys at Christ’s Hospital school, in Horsham, West Sussex, during the 70s and 80s. He was convicted for sneaking into the boys dormitories and touching them as they slept. But Webb has now been jailed for 12 more months following a two-day trial for another allegation of historic child sex abuse at the school.
The victim, now in his 50s, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, told the court how Webb indecently assaulted him at least 12 times when he was an 11-year-old boarder, during the same period as the other offences.
The School have released a statement in light of the extended sentence, which can be found on the link below.
