The deputy head of a scandal-hit Catholic private school became hooked on child abuse images after getting embroiled in a drug-taking paedophile ring that met on gay dating app Grindr.

Pervert Peter Allott, 37, was introduced to child sex images and became addicted to Class A drugs – spending up to £600-a-week – at ‘chemsex’ parties.

He kept child abuse images on his iPhone and on a hard drive found in his office at the £15,000-a-year St Benedict’s School, which includes comedian Julian Clary, former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten and Lord Of The Rings actor Andy Serkis amongst its former pupils.

Cambridge University graduate Allott was a teacher at the scandal hit school in Ealing, west London, where one priest is on the run from a child abuse charge and another was convicted of nearly four decades of abuse.

The school was heavily criticised in a report into its protection of children from abuse.
