A former music teacher was caged on February 38 for 17 years after he was found guilty by a jury of raping a young boy nearly 40 years ago.
David Hope, 74, now faces spending the rest of his life behind bars after a judge said that his victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has had to relive his "horrific experience" at school throughout a trial in December 2021.
Judge Ahmed Nadim said that the complainant was still bearing the scars of the damage that was inflicted on him by Hope, who had exploited the schoolboy's vulnerability by repeatedly engaging in serious offending against him, Yorkshire Live writes.
