Former teacher and Baptist minister found guilty of historic sexual abuse

A former teacher turned Baptist minister has been found guilty of sexually abusing a boy he taught at a Derbyshire school in the 1970s. John Thompson had denied sexually touching the boy over a four-year period at Crich C of E Junior School 40 years ago.
He faced charges of six counts of indecent assault and two of gross indecency with the pupil. A jury of six men and six women at Derby Crown Court took just over three hours to reach a unanimous verdict against Thompson, of Tutbury Road, Burton.
