The Diocese of Truro today (May 25, 2018) published the findings of a review that looked at the selection and employment of Jeremy Dowling within the diocese.
In June 2015, Jeremy Dowling pleaded guilty at Truro Crown Court to a number of charges of indecent assaults on boys between 1959 and 1971 while working as a teacher in a Cornish school.
In September 2016 he was further found guilty of indecent assault on one boy over the period of 1973-1977.
In addition, the Crown Prosecution Service left on file matters concerning the possession of indecent images of children on a computer.
Jeremy Dowling was closely involved with the church during these periods, and latterly employed by the diocese.
This case review was commissioned by the Safeguarding Committee of the Diocese of Truro and was researched and written by academic and magistrate, Dr Andy Thompson.
