> Paedophile teacher jailed for grooming male pupils for sex with sweets and computer games

01 Feb 2010 A paedophile teacher who groomed male pupils for sex with sweets and computer games over 20 years has been jailed for seven years.

English and drama teacher James Braid, 58, preyed on his victims at Bay House School, Gosport, Hants, where he taught English and drama for 34 years.

Portsmouth Crown Court heard Braid, a respected member of the Parent Teacher Association, would surround himself with vulnerable boys who had fallen victim to bullies, known as Braids Bunch.

Braid earned the trust of parents by taking the boys on holiday to visit his relatives in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, or inviting them to his house for help with homework.

He gave the boys, all aged around 15, with alcohol, fizzy sweets and video games before abusing them.

During a 22-day trial last year the court heard from four of Braids victims, one of whom blackmailed him for £20,000 pounds to keep quiet, who described him as a father figure.

Braid was found guilty of seven charges of multiple offences of indecent assault between 1982 and 2002.

Judge Ian Pearson, in sentencing the experienced teacher, said: “This was the grossest possible breach of trust by a teacher.

“There is no doubt a gifted and charismatic teacher but you used those skills to identify, to target and to groom young boys.

“In my view you were and are a determined, deceitful and predatory paedophile.”

Braid was also ordered to pay £31,300 pounds in legal costs, banned from working with children for life and must sign the sex offenders register.

Braid was acquitted in 1998 of groping a boy but these new allegations did not come to light until one victim, now in his 20s, broke down after a row with his girlfriend and dialled 999.

Detective Constable Nicola Cupper, from the Hampshire major crimes unit, who led the investigation, said: “We are very pleased with the result.

“He is a teacher of some 34 years who has led a double life all that time.

“If it was not for the bravery of the four complainants and their continued support justice would not have been done.”

> [GPGT] Hovis baker fined for leaving oven glove in loaf of bread

19th January, 2010 A bread maker has been fined after a woman discovered part of an oven glove baked into her slice of bread – and she didn’t even notice it until she began eating it.

Herefordshire-based Hovis makers Premier Foods were fined £750 after the woman in Northern Ireland discovered the hairy white bread. She had toasted a slice, and had begun to eat it, when she noticed the material.

The packet turned out to be full of shreds of the hessian-type cloth.

Premier Foods was prosecuted for selling food ‘to the purchaser’s prejudice’ at Omagh Magistrates’ Court, in County Tyrone.

The loaf had been bought from a local shop just before Christmas. When the victim discovered the contamination she reported the matter to the environmental health section of the council.

Chairman of Omagh Council Paddy Magowan said: ‘The very fact that they have been fined quite a substantial sum should send out a warning to all other companies to be on your best behaviour and to be very careful about your processes and manufacturing.’

District Judge Greg McCourt imposed the fine on January 8 and ordered the company to pay court costs of £85 after it had earlier pleaded guilty.

A spokesman for Premier Foods said: ‘We go to great lengths to assure the quality of our great British brands but on this isolated occasion we have fallen short of our usual high standards and apologise for any distress caused to the customer.’
