PERTH PAEDOPHILE PLACED ON SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER AMID NURSERY CLOSURE FEARS
Parents in Perth were given the bombshell news that their nursery is just days away from closure.
The husband of a committee member was exposed as a paedophile in June which caused the group’s roll call to dwindle significantly.
Thursday night’s annual general meeting of Kinnoull Nursery was told that the pre-school group has suffered a “dramatic decline” in numbers which has “significantly reduced income”.
The nursery, based at Kinnoull Church, only has enough cash in the bank to last until October 5, and staff have been given redundancy risk letters.
Families are furious that the nursery did not disclose Alister Coull’s actions sooner.
Coull, 58, was caught with nearly 150 indecent images, including ones at category A level, and was placed on the sex offenders register and ordered to do 135 hours of unpaid work.
The nursery management emphasized they were unaware of the crime until it was reported in the press.
Coull’s wife, Jillian, a nursery committee member, did not inform them about his court case.
The nursery is an independent, privately-run enterprise that rents space in the church hall and is regulated by the Care Inspectorate.
