BBC Nicky talks to his childhood abuser's daughter

BBC presenter Nicky Campbell has spoken with the daughter of an alleged paedophile teacher who he claims abused him as a boy.

He met Jenny Pearson, 64, who spoke out for the first time about her late father Hamish Dawson - branding him an "abomination".

She discovered the "truth" about her dad after Nicky, 61, went public about the alleged physical and sexual abuse he suffered and witnessed as a pupil.

The therapist has since been devoted to helping her father's victims who went to Edinburgh Academy in the 70s.

She said: "Knowing I am the daughter of a paedophile, it's repulsive, shameful.

"It's disgusting. I've spent my whole professional life fighting for the rights of children and young people."

Jenny was on Nicky's BBC Radio 5 podcast Different after contacting him when he named Dawson as one of three teachers allegedly involved in abuse. She lived at the boarding school and claims she was violently abused by her father, who died in 2009. Jenny, from Edinburgh, also said she was emotionally abused by her mother, who died in 2014.
