North Yorkshire police has previously said that its file on Paul Sheppard is closed.
This week, however, The Times informed the force of two former Ampleforth pupils to whom the police had not previously spoken. Each has described incidents involving the teacher in 1989 that this newspaper considers merit further investigation.
