A man has shared claims he was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of his former teacher.
*Simon (not his real name) attended Formby High School in the 1980s and found himself reliving buried memories when the ECHO reported on the lawsuit that has now seen 30 former pupils of Formby High School come forward claiming they suffered horrific abuse at the hands of Ian Farquharson. Farquharson was the head of the lower school and killed himself in 1992 after a complaint was made by the mother of a child.
The ECHO reported earlier this week that Farquharson had been charged with inciting young boys to commit acts of gross indecency in 1980. According to reports in the ECHO, in February 1980, Farquharson plied his pupils with lemonade after school hours and encouraged them to commit sex acts while he spied on them through a keyhole.
