Sentence for Slade

A paedophile head teacher has been jailed for 21 years for a string of sex attacks against young boys. A jury at Ipswich Crown Court found Derek Slade guilty of more than 50 offences against pupils who attended his boarding schools in Norfolk and Suffolk during the 1970s and 80s.

Judge Peter Fenn said Slade's victims "lost days of childhood innocence" before recommending he serve a minimum of 14 years behind bars.
