A FORMER teacher and communications officer to the Bishop of Truro has been put behind bars after sexually abusing five young boys.
Jeremy Dowling, 77, from Bude, was sentenced to seven years in prison today at Truro Crown Court after admitting 15 counts of indecently assaulting a boy under the age of 16.
The former teacher was convicted after five ex-pupils came forward to police to complain that they were victims of sexual abuse.
Dowling was a teacher and senior member of staff at a private boarding school in Bude between 1959 and 1971.
