NICKY SCHOOL TORMENTOR: I'M NOT GUILTY

Teacher accused of abusing kids at top Scots schools goes on trial at home in South Africa

A FORMER teacher branded "Scotland's Jimmy Savile" by TV host Nicky Campbell has appeared in court in South Africa.

Retired Iain Wares, 84, is said to have carried out sex attacks on pupils in the 60s and 70s while teaching maths and rugby in Edinburgh and is fighting extradition.

However, publicity surrounding revelations made by TV and radio host Campbell, 63, against Wares led to an alleged victim in South Africa coming forward.

Married Wares had previously worked in Scotland between 1967 and 1979 but moved back to his native South Africa after boys began to complain about him.
