EX-EASTBOURNE COLLEGE TEACHER JAILED FOR CHILD SEX ABUSE
Ex-history teacher Andrew Boxer, 67, was sentenced to 15 years in jail.
Ex-music teacher Graham Jones, 63, was jailed for two years.
Both taught at Eastbourne College, East Sussex, at the time of the abuse, while the victim was a pupil there.
Boxer was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register for life and served with an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), severely restricting his access to boys.
He systematically groomed the victim, using seemingly casual remarks, access to video porn, and his own sexual acts, to create a situation where the boy felt trapped.
The victim had confided in Boxer and Jones after the abuse, and the police investigation started in August 2015, following the victim's statement.
The conviction was at Hove Crown Court, and Boxer received a sentence of 15 years, with a lifelong Sex Offenders' Register order.
Jones, convicted of two counts of indecent assault, was made a sex offender for 10 years and received a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Sussex Police emphasized there are no current safeguarding issues for the college related to this matter.
The victim showed significant courage in coming forward and supporting the prosecution, including giving evidence and facing cross-examination.
