A former teacher who sexually abused schoolboys decades ago has been jailed for seven years at Truro Crown Court.
Jeremy Dowling, 77, also an ex-press officer for the Diocese of Truro, assaulted five boys aged between 12 and 15 when working at a preparatory school from 1959 to 1971.
Dowling left the school in 1972 following a police investigation but the inquiry “went nowhere.”
Judge Graham Cottle told Dowling he had committed a “gross breach of trust”.
He also said his actions had “caught up” with him.
