Philip Temple

The NSPCC has praised the courage of the victims of a sex predator who abused girls and boys at Shirley Oak's Children's Home

Philip Temple, 66, was handed a 12-year jail sentence yesterday after he admitted 27 counts of non-recent sexual assault against children in his care and perjury.

The court heard how between 1972 and 1977 Temple sexually assaulted girls and boys in various care homes where he worked.

The NSPCC said Temple's victims had shown courage for speaking out to bring him to justice.
