Peter Allott, 37, was accused of having a “split personality” after it was revealed he spent up to £600 a week on Class A drugs and was addicted to child sex images whilst teaching at St Benedict’s School.

He kept child abuse images on his iPhone and on a hard drive found in his office at the Ealing-based school, which includes comedian Julian Clary and actor Andy Serkis amongst its former pupils.
