A schoolteacher groomed and indecently assaulted an underage teenage girl who was one of his pupils.
The historic offences took place over a year-long period from 1996 to 1997 at a school in St Helens, and only came to light when the victim went to police many years later.
Today Paul Daw, 55, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court to be sentenced after pleading guilty to four charges of indecently assaulting a girl under the age of 16.
