A FORMER teacher who worked at two schools in Chichester as well as the cathedral has been jailed for 18 months for indecently assaulting a teenage boy in Harrow in the 1980s.

David Gutteridge was sentenced on Wednesday at Harrow Crown Court after earlier being found guilty by a jury of two counts of indecent assault on a boy under the age of 16.

The court heard the offences took place during the 1980s after Gutteridge plied the victim with alcohol and cigarettes.

Gutteridge was a former employee at Prebendal School and Bishop Luffa School, both in Chichester, and was a former secretary of the Chichester Cathedral Choristers’ Association.

However, there is no indication that any offences took place in Chichester.
