FOUR former teachers at a private school have been charged with non-recent sexual offences.

The alleged offences are said to have taken place at Christ’s Hospital School in Horsham.

Jayne Cioffi, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Four men, all former teachers at Christ’s Hospital School, were informed that they have been charged with non-recent sexual offences.

“Having carefully considered the evidence in this case, we have concluded that in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to prosecute.” …

The Christian school is in the diocese formerly overseen by Bishop of Lewes Peter Ball who served a 32-month sentence for abusing 18 young men.
