Teacher Jailed for Groping Boy of 9
Posted on: Thursday, 1 September 2005, 09:00 CDT
A TEACHER who molested a nine-year-old boy in a PE lesson was jailed for a year yesterday.
After his arrest police found 512 porn pictures of children on computers in 24-year-old Anthony Watson's home. Scout leader Watson initially denied the boy's claims and the school wrote to police expressing their "total disgust" at the allegations.
But he admitted one charge of sexual assault on the boy at a school in Blackpool and nine of possessing indecent images of children.
Prosecutor Dennis Watson told Preston crown court: "He had a sexual fascination with pre-teenage boys which involved him visiting websites which showed pornographic images."
Watson, of Pilling, Lancs, will have to register with police for 10 years after his release and sign the sex offenders' register. He was banned from working with children for life.
