"On 24th July 2006, after a six-week trial, I was convicted of serious sexual offences against former residents of Newfield House Community Home, where I was Principal 1978-1982. I was convicted, on majority verdicts, of eleven offences and acquitted of six. Two convictions were for rape and nine for indecent assault. I was sentenced to fifteen years. I deny all the allegations and have lodged an appeal. I am yet another victim of liars and will maintain my innocence whilst there is breath in my body. I am grateful to all those who believe in my innocence and assure you, you are not mistaken."
